Andrew Brannagan, a bright young
lad OF thirteen, son of Richard Branna-
gan, of 325 Grand street, Jersey City,

Inc symptoms OF hydrophobia. About

These symptoms were followed by an
aversion to water and c0nyulsions when
offered drink. In the evening he was
taken sick at the stomach and retired 10
bed.
DR.. Lutkins was summoned, and, OBJ
serving the symptoms, questioned the
boy, when he acknowledged that he bad
been bitten by dog. DR.. Watson was
called in for consultation. anu both
agreed that the youth was affiicEed WITH
hydrcphoDia. The boy snapped and
barked during the spasms, and frequent
ly foamed at the mouth, and then lei
lowed period of utter insensibilily.
Late on Thursday afternoon young
Brannagan became conscious, but there
was wild glare from his eyes, and the
face was shrunken, distorted and pale,
while the lips were blue. About dusk
he was seized with commissions, accom-
ranied by all the features OF hydropho-
bia. From the tit he passed quietly into
a collapse, and died without "a struggle.
