Death from Hydro.
DllObIa.

We have already mentioned the death Of
Mr. A Rodgers. of Franklin county, Ohio.
of hydrophobia. As we have already stated,
he was bitten by a mad dog some thirty
years since, and in the interim had fire.
quen,ly experienced very unpleasant sem
sations. though without guessing at the real
cause. Being man OF powerful physical
frame weighing near two hundred pounds,
it is probable that the strength of his con-
stitution kept the effects of the virus in his
system subdued On the 18th Of January.
a small, half starved dog bit him on the
hand when he instantly remarked to his
wife that he never felt such a pain. It.
seemed to thrill his system like an electric
shock Nothing further. however, occurred
at the time beyond very severe headache
and slight nervous fever. The Dayton Ca
zctte says:
The same dog was known to have bitten
several hogs. but not until the hogs became
rabid. which was several weeks after. the
dog was supposed to have been mad When
Mr.. Rodgers became acquainted with these
facts he at once felt that, under BIS peculiar
situation with the virus of former bite in
his system his case was hopeless one. and
Immediately set about closing up his bust
ness and made his will, communicating
his apprehensions to no person. not even his
family. He enjoyed usual health up to
! Wednesday before his death, when the symp-
! toms OF Lydrophohia began to manifest
themselves, caus;ng him however. no serious
Inconvenience until Friday morning. when
on attempting to wash his hands and face
he found himself unable to get his hands in
/ TO the water.
He ate but little breakfast, and in short
time went TO bed About II o'clock Friday
night he was seized By most fearful spasm
which lasted for some time. After the
spasm passed off he became quite calm and,
assured his friends that he would not harm
them in any way. His next spasm was on
Saturday morning. and more violent than
the former The last spasm seemed 20 rack
the sufferer with the most excruciating agony
and was dreadful in the extreme, even 10
witness. During all his sufferings to the
very moment of his death. be was conscious
of bis condition. perfectly rational in all
respects, and seemed to take particular
care to harm no one during his ravine fits.
although he was in 10 way secured and in
the same room with bis friends and atten-
dants.
It is certainly contrary to usual expert
ence that the virus should remain so long
in the system. and give no more decided
manifestations OF lis presence But the
case, though a remarkable one. is by no
means an isolated one.
