y FEARFUL STORY OF HYDROPH0BIA
DE- TIL OF SIX CHILDREN.-Mr. Hen
ry Drew, Assistant Superintendent Of
Public Property, has related to us the
particulars OF a case Of hydrophobia at
the village of Waterloo, which sur
passes in tragic interest almost any
story Of the kind we have ever read
Some six or seven years ago a mad
dog went through the village of Water
loo, Jefferson County, and bit a num-
Der OF ANIMALS. Among others it
snapped at the leg of cow belonging
to Mr.. Babc0ck. The animal was
examined, but no mark was found. and
1t was supposed that it escaped being
bitten. The animal was afterwards
sold to man by the name of CARR
son, who used her milk very freely. as
did two of his children. Some of the
nelghbors, including Mr.. Drew's family
were also supplied with the milk of
this COW.
AT different times during the time
since the COW was bitten there hiss
been nexplicable and fatal sickness
among these using her milk, and two
children of Mr.. Garrison's, two ofMr
BOWS, and two others, have been at
tackled with spasms and died in great
agony. Mr.. Garrison has also been
attacked at times with spasms. The
mystery OF this sickness was solved by
the death, with every symptom of nv.
drophobia, a short time ago, of the COW
so slightly bitten seven years ago, and
IN whose system madness has been
latent ever since.
The case is a singular one, and
worthy the attention of scientific men.
