The cry of mad dog drives the people into their homes, and from the safety of a window a young boy sees a dog attack a child. We see him next as a man — Louis Pasteur. He prepares a vaccine and gives daily treatments to four dogs which had been given hydrophobia. They are immune to the disease. "Requests for his vaccine come from all over the world, but he hesitates. No attempt has been made to determine its effects on human beings. He plans a self-experiment. A mother brings her boy which had been bitten by a suspected mad dog. He still holds back, but keeps the boy in his home for observations. When the symptoms develop, he injects the vaccine and two weeks later the boy is cured." Advisory committee ^"^^^^J^J. FEVER.

Kitten's-eye views reveal how big and tall the household furniture appears to a little kitten. Fluffy explains that he is usually hungry. . . He doesn't like baths, but he keeps himself neat and clean. His sanitary facilities consist of a pan and a newspaper. He says that it hurts when he is picked up by the nape of the neck; his mistress demonstrates the proper way of holding him. "Views of his paws and claws accompany an explanation that he needs a log to scratch, instead of the furniture. He says that he won't scratch when you play with him, unless you play roughly. . . When he gets into intentional mischief, he is spanked. . . He doesn't care about toys. . . He likes simple things such as a ball on a string. He exhibits his training by jumping over his mistress' outstretched hand, and then he sleeps in a box.
