...October the French Academy of Sciences officially recognized Pasteur's serum, and hostile criticism melted before the warm rush of praise that greeted the scientist from all over the world. Hundreds of persons who had been bitten by mad dogs rushed to his laboratory, and a public international subscription was opened to build larger quarters.
