theory advanced here short time since
that vigorous treatment of Turkish baths
administered in the early stages, would eff
fectally cure hydrophobla, seems likely to
be verified Joseph Krebla an employe of
the car shops in West Milwaukee, was bit
ten by dog supposed to be mad, about
ten days ago, but did not experience any
trouble till last Friday, when he WAS selz-
ed with what appeared TO be the Fremont
tory symptoms of hydrophobia he com
planned Of a severe prickllug sensation at
the wound, and at points along his right
side to the crown Of his bead, had swell
ing in the throat was unable to swallow
and restless to that extent that he could
not sleep He was taken to a bath estab-
lishment Saturday, passed five hours in the
sweat-room, with temperature at one hun
dred and five degrees, and Sunday passed
two hours there, Saturday night he OBJ
tanned six hours Of undsmrbed sleep
and rest and yesterday again slept sound
ly The dangerous symptoms have disap-
peared, and the man expects to resume his
usual work to-day should they not return
The theory that his disease has been
brought on by imagination is disproved by
the fact that he gave no attention what
ever to the dog bite, is a Bohemian, and
not reading man, and knows nothing
whatever of the symptoms OF hydrophobia
