- From Reports of the Twelfth Census.
The annals of the Pasteur Institute state that during the year 1902 the number of persons under treatment for hydrophobia in Paris was 1,106, of whom only three died, one of whom had not completed the treatment when he succumbed to hydrophobia; so that in reality there were only two deaths. Of the 1,106 persons under treatment, nine were English, two Spaniards, two Russians, and one each Greek, Dutch, and Swiss - making 16 foreigners to 1,089 French. The diminution in the number of French patients, as compared with several preceding years, is explained by the opening of anti-rabic institutes at L.lle, Marseilles, Montpellier, Lyons, and Bordeaux, to one or other of which persons residing in the neighborhood of those towns have been sent instead of going to Paris.
