When bitten by a dog or other animal, wash the wound with disinfectant water or with soap and water and treat as any other wound. The next thing to do is to determine whether or not the dog or other animal is mad-or rabid. The animal should be tied up where it can be, observed and where it cannot bite others. If it has rabies it is a sick animal and will die within ten days. In such a case the on

e bitten should go at once to some hos­pital or health centre where the Pasteur treatment is given. This treatment should be given before any symptoms of the disease of rabies develop in the one bitten, for after the symptoms develop the treatment cannot help. If the animal runs away and the one bitten cannot find out whether or not it is rabid, the only safe procedure is to take the course of treatments.
