Abstract
IT is announced in the thirty-eighth annual report of this Institute, recently issued, that the anti-rabic treatment which has been carried on here for forty years has been transferred to the Central Research Institute, Kasauli. The Kasauli Pasteur Institute was formally opened for the treatment of dog-bite and similar cases in August 1900 under Major David Semple, R.A.M.C. It was the first Pasteur Institute to be established in the British Empire; in the first year 321 persons were treated, and the numbers increased year by year until in 1938 more than 22,000 persons received treatment. During its last year, 1938, 20,377 Asiatics and 1,817 Europeans received anti-rabic treatment at Kasauli and its associated centres, with 73 deaths, a mortality of 0·33 per cent, the lowest figure during its long history.
