Epidemic of Rabies in Wisconsin Brought Under Control
A state report states the rabies outbreak that began in Windoc in 1907 has ceased. Between July 1911 and July 1912 the Madison laboratory examined 152 brains from animals slaughtered for disease, with 85 specimens tested in the year ending July 1 1911 and a very low rabies percentage. Officials note western counties saw only mild impact and discuss normalizing disease control measures. Comprehensive site studies for a new northeastern state normal school are underway, with a decision by the state board of regents pending.
