Hydrophobia Victims May Now Be Treated Free in Indiana.

The state board of health hereafter will be able to pay for the Pasteur treatment to persons bitten by rabid dogs out of the “hydrophobia” fund created by the last legislature. The fund Wednesday passed the |2,000 mark, as required by law before any part of it would be available. The receipt of 9521 from Albert Sahm, auditor of Marion county, for that county’s portion of the fund, brought the total amount up to about $2,100. The board has been forced to deny treatment under the law, as the fund had not reached the required amount The money is paid to the auditor of state from the surplus dog tax fund from each township in the state.
