Mrs. Mary Howard, wife of Ala

Bloomington, Magofiin county, died
of hydrophobia few days ago. She
was bitten by a rabid dog February
9tn last. The incision made by the
tooth of the dog was on the right
wrist, and healed nicely. A so-called
mad stone was applied Immediately.
No further indications of rabies
we're noticed until about two weeks
ago, when pain was felt in the right
arm, which increased until the 18th
ult., when she took spasm. When
she was offered drink Of water by
the doctors patrick and Whittaker)
she took spasm that was horrify-
ing to those present. She was pro-
nounced incurable and given all re-
lief possible until she died in terrible
agony. This was the first case
witnessed in that county, and it
has created great excitement. Tn
one of her spasms Mrs. Howard bit
her husband in the arm. Mad dogs
have been numerous. Horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs have been bitten and
died. The case of Mrs. Howard has
settled all doubts as TO its being
hydrophobia.
