In common with , other Bruce
municiRalities, Lucknow Village ;•
Council''` has received a letter '. •
from. Dr. T. J. Cornish- of Ches..:
ley, • sub -. district. veterinarian, .
warning that rabies threatens to ••,,
become common in' Bruce: Coon-,..
ty, and he states that 'a few caS-
es ' have, .already been diagnosed.
The incidence of the outbreak
'is alarming in Grey County and:.
hence the spread into Bruce ap-
pears . imminent.'
• Dr. Cornishvhat ' e "
ervoir. of infection •is. a wi
fox, and the depletion of the :
fox` population ,is of primary im
portance in controlling 'the dan-
ger of the ,,spread of the disease.
• Dr, • Cornish says dogs should
be, confined, as `the human dan-
ger lies chiefly' in the .possibility
of dog bites. The straydog can
be, ' particularly . dangerous. lie
points out also, that :another rea-'
son .for confining .dogs, is • that
rabies infection may, not develop
for as much as , several months,
after the animal is infected...
