 No full-length portrait, but a miniature,--
  And for it all no moral can procure.

    Let Bulmer, then, defend his old-world crew,
  And beg indulgence--nay, applause--of you.

    Grant that we tippled and were indiscreet,
  And that our idols all had earthen feet;
  Grant that we made of life a masquerade;
  And swore a deal more loudly than we prayed;
  Grant none of us the man his Maker meant,--
  Our deeds, the parodies of our intent,
  In neither good nor ill pre-eminent;
  Grant none of us a Nero,--none a martyr,--
  All merely so-so.
                    AndDetermination of efficacy of rabies vaccine in the Saratov region.
The most complicated situation concerning rabies is seen in the Saratov region. The basic reservoir of rabies in this region is wild carnivores. A study was conduted in three districts of the Saratov region to define the efficiency of measures taken with the "Sinrab" rabies vaccine containing "RV-97" used for oral immunisation of wild animals. As a result of the experiment it was established that specific prevention of rabies in wildlife in enzootic territories resulted in a decrease of rabies cases.
