Young Girl Given ' > Rabies Treatment A young girl who was bitten on the face by a dog is receiving antitoxin and Pasteur treatment shots, for an infection Which might be ratoes, at the Jay county hospital, Portland. Treatments were begun after the child came down with a fever Wednesday. She had been bitten on the face by a small dog while visiting near Tell City in southern Indiana with h<*r mother. The wound, washed and treated with antiseptic, had healed within two or three days after the child was bitten. The possibility that the infection might be rabies has resulted in the painful and expensive series of shots for rabies, which must continue until there is no doubt the girl will not develop the. fatal disease. Hie fever broke Friday, which it would not have done if the infection were rabies, leading' the health officer to say he is fairly certain that the child does not have rabies. Ordiqgrily, the treatments would continue until it could be determined whether or not the dog had rabies. Searches were made for the dog, which was said to have been snapping and biting at the air, but the animal could not be located. 1 If the dog could be'found, the . proper procedure would be to put i it under observation for a 10-day period. If the dog is alive at the , end of that time, it does not have rabies. If the dog dies, laboratory ■ tests can determine whether or not the dog's' death was due to rabies and the Pasteur treatment can be started. The treatment for this type of , infection is to inject a considerable quantity of antitoxin, following with a 14-day series of shots, ■ called the Pasteur treatment. 1 These shots, all given in the stomach, are vaccinations intended to build up immunity to rabies before the infection sets in. Itinerant Workers Arrive In Decatur : Itinerant factory workers and tomato pickers have recently arrived in Decatur to assist with the harvesting and canning of the 1959 . tomato crop.
