on the 18th inst. of hydrophobia. He was
bitten in March last, just below the knee of
the left leg, by small dog which was
not known to have been mad and which
Immediately ran off and was not afterwards
recognized. No alarm was felt on account
of the bite till the first of the present month
when Wendell complained of weakness and
occasional uneasiness or pain in the limbs,
and was observed to be less communicative |
than usual, and to take less interes. in BUSH
hess affairs. Some thought this amounted
to sort of melancholy which impelled him
to avoid society. Others were not aware
Of this. The feeling of weakness and un
easness in the limbs, however, continued
with little variation until Tuesday morning,
July 18th. Between and O'clock that
morning., he had quite severe and protrac
ted chill; this was followed by sense Of
stiffness and increased uneasiness in the
limbs, with much pain in the stomach aud
left side. He called for water, which was
presented in a tumbl,r. On taking it into
his hand be was seized with general tre-
NOR and strong spa>modic action about the
chest and throat. Water was then given
him IN a teaspoon, but on touching his
mouth would immediately excite the same
spasnlodic action. lie could take no nour-
i9hnent whatever. The next day he coulu
not bea, the slightest agitation of the air
about him. An attempr to drive away she

coming suddenly toward BIN, or sitting
down quickly by bis side, wosld produce
The same effect There was disposition
but inability to sleep. During this day, the
pain, restIessness and sense of suffoeation
increased, and lie seemed to be tormeDted
