One of the small towns developed by the British during the 'hey day' of the empire, and reached by a branch road from the Kalka-Shmila road, the quite beautiful hill-station of Kasauli has a Pastur Institure that produces the antirabies vaccine against mad dog-bite and, at the same time, treats victims who have fallen prey to the dead disease, Hydrophobia. The Englishman's love for his pet is proverbial and he loth to part wiht or destroy hi dos even when begins to show signs of madness. If the victim of a dog-bite is not treated in time - hydrophobia, or fear of water occurs, resulting in his inability to swallow water. For the dog set, Louis Pastur performed invaluable service when he perfected his vaccine in the late 19th century. The institute in Kasauli set up in 1900, is the oldest in India, taking care of pet, police and army 
dogs as well as their masters. Side by side another institute produces other vaccines, this is the Central Research Institute affording immunity from Typhoid, small-pox [which has been eradicated], chlorea and snake-bite.
