In August last, Mrs. Daniel Ewing,
Jersey City, New Jersey, was playing with
IA kitten, when the little animal bit her
through the end of the thumb, the teeth
perforating the nail. Mrs. Ewing paid no
further attention TO the wound than to
bind it up in order TO staunch the blood
which flowed, and to mention the circum-
stances to her domestics. In q few days,
the wound perfectly healed and nothing
further was thought of it until Tuesday
night last, October "a. On Tuesday after
noon, Mrs. Ewing retired for nap, and
never left her bed. She was taken alarm
ingly i'll, and IA physician sent for. He at
Cnce treated her for hydrophobia. Mrs.
Ewing was made aware of her awful situa-
ton and begged that her life be saved.
Several physicians agreed that it was a case
of rabies On Friday morning, Mr.. Ewing
tested the case by offering his wife water,
and was convinced that she was suffering
from hydiophobla. Nothing but the bite
of the kitten could be offered as the cause
of the disease, which makes ii a very strange
one ind, ed. Mrs. Ewing died easily and
quietly. aud drank water an hour or two
before her death.
