INOCULATION SUREST RABIES PREVENTATIVE, Kenilworth Health Authority Cites Facts to Prove Treatment of Dogs Is Effective Dr. H. A. Orvis, health officer for Winnetka and Kenilworth, who, a few months ago, successfully directed a campaign against what threatened to become an epidemic of rabies among the dogs of the former village, is also engaged in similarly combating an out- break of the disease in Kenilworth. Because of the hearty co-operation which Dr. Orvis received from the owners of the dogs in Winnetka, he says the rabies epidemic there was short lived. Hundreds of dogs in the village were inoculated against the disease, Dr. Orvis says, and with effec- tive results. Co-operation in Kenilworth is also being given, Dr. Orvis reports, but HOME GARDENS TENNIS COURTS North Shore Garden Service VALLEY VIEW FARM--Waukegan Road--GLENVIEW Building and Construction of PARKS FLAGSTONE SIDEWALKS Black Soil $7.00 truckload delivered.

Shown by appoint- ment. Tel. Winnetka 1800 there is an occasional individual, who, because of limited observation, lack oi opportunity to investigate or pure pre- judice unfounded on facts, opposes the safety measure of inoculation, he dc- clares. "The only known basis upon which we consider the subject of rabies," Dr. Orvis explains, "is the positive labora- tory reports of the examination of the brains of dogs which have died witn symptoms of rabies. Rabies on Increase * In the various laboratories in llli- nois as recently as 1923, there were only 64 positive cases reported. This increased in 1924, to 123 cases; in 1926, to 226 cases and in 1927 the positive reports are arriving in such numbers as to doubtless greatly exceed this last figure. "Rabies has occurred in greatly in- creased frequency in several areas of the Uniter States, as Georgia, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, South Carolina, Ohio and Massachusetts, during the last year. In the last three years in the United States there have been 250 deaths from rabies in spite oi the fact that treatment is everywhere available. This is double the number recorded for any like period previously. "We have relied upon the most care- ful and authentic statistics in our de- cision to recommend inoculation of dogs. The most carefully compiled check-ups seem to be those of the cities of Tokio and Yokohoma, Japan. Rabies was rampant there. Then they inoculated 104,629 or two-thirds of their canine population and among this group only 41 or thirty-nine one thousandths percent later developed rabies. Of the uninoculated group numbering 52,314, (dogs which were not inocu- lated) there developed 1,699 cases of rabies. Inoculation Does Prevent "Inoculation, therefore, prevented 3,316 cases of rabies among the dogs of those cities. "Statistics in the United States are not so extensive because of the lack oi effective check-ups. It is estimated that from 1923 to 1926 there were probably one-half million dogs inocu- lated. "In New Jersey rather thorough and complete work was done in several cities, and very favorable reports of its success are made. "Authorities in Oregon, New Mexi- co, New Jersey, Kansas and Virginia speak very favorably of the benefits of inoculation in aiding in the control of rabies. "The result of this work has led fifty cities in thirteen states to require in- oculation of dogs while several coun- ties have also made it compulsory in their effort to control the situation." Dr. Orvis feels that all this convinc- ing data has been further strengthened by the actual demonstration of the claims for inoculation in the benefits shown so quickly in Winnetka, where he was given such whole hearted sup- port upon the part of the canine own- ers of the village. GOES TO ANN ARBOR Walter Thomas Gillett, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Gillett, 533 Roslyn road, Kenilworth, left September 10, for Ann Arbor, where he will enter the University of Michigan as a freshman. The Albert S. Gardners have just bought the house at 745 Ash street and are moving in today from their apart- ment at 456 Surf street, Chicago. With them are their two children, Carol and Billy, who will henceforward know Winnetka as their home. Re pprat--;®)fn Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Thomas and their children, of 680 Walden road, have returned to Winnetka from their farm at Ocean Springs, Miss. They were gone all summer.
