Louis Pastuer is known for creating the vaccination for rabies. He tested his ideas on dogs, rabbits, and monkeys. Finally, he found out how to give animals rabies. He would take brain tissue from a rabid dog and put it on a healthy dog's brain. But now that he found out how to give animals rabies, he had to figure out how to cure it.
 * Biggest Accomplishment**

During his studies he went over to a friend's house. His friend had just made a new type of flask. He took one look at the flask, walked out the door and told his assistant to get the glass blower to make more flasks like his friend's. He used his flasks to air-dry dead dogs' spines until they were two weeks old. Then they could be injected into dogs that weren't sick. He would inject their spines with bone fragments of spines from other dogs that had died from rabies. They would recieve a two-week series of injections. They would then become immune.

Rabies is a disease that appears in animals and humans. It usually makes animal's mouths foam. It is spread by one rabid animal biting another. The animal will develop rabies in about two weeks. Once it gets rabies, it is almost certain death unless it gets treated.
