A despatch front Toronto say.;: Rabies it) a very violent forst has broken nut in several portions of Ontario, particularly the western district, and 11:e provincial and Do- minion authorities aro new ex- changing correspondence and tak- ing step, to prevent the disease from eprea:fins; any farther. That the outbreak ie a serious one is not doubted, but the provincial au- thorities prefer not to discuss it. Numerous dogs and cows have been destroyed as n result of the out- break, and no lees than four peo- ple have had to go to the Pasteur In.:titute at Now York for treat- ment, the result, of bites by mad dogs. Llvestigation has proven that the origin of the outbreak is traceable • an episode which took place tlu•ce or four weeks ago, when a mad dog ran across the Intet•na- tienal Bridge at Lewiston, to Quee)ston, and thence up the stone road to Niagara Falls, Ont., where it b't several (l•.gs on its rampage. It finally fell exhausted in a field and died. I)r. C. A. Ilodgetts, secretary of tlte Provincial Board of He'tlth and Pr. J. 0. Rutherford, Dominion veterinary director-general, are in ton(erenee with regsr.I t•., the situ- at.un. The Dominion depaitrueut ha. charge of all veterinary and live stock matters, while' the pro- s ineial authorities look after 4411 gtiestiuns pertaining to bev1t11. Numerous conferences already have taken palace at the Parlixnlrut Buildings 14ith regard to what ac- tion is to b' taken to cope with the spread of the disease. IL is altogether probable that Is general inspection will be ordered and stringent regulations adopted t•, prevent the spread of hydropho- bia, which has been alarming, to say the least. One order whish may be issued is that all dogs in Ou- terio must be muzzled, and if so special officers will be apptinte'I to enforce the order. The situation is regarded as being Most dangerous in the cities. The real danger is from orad dogs •running at large. Some owners of cattle have destroy- ed cows which have been bitten by lead dogs, and its two cases vete vin- eries were bitten while atteslling to sick cattle. at from 8-t to 85.10.
