AN AGITATION AGAINST
THE USE OF MADSTONES
Case of Blood Poisoning Follows the
Use of One.

The development of a case OF blood
poisoning following the application OF
the Statehouse maidstone" has started
an agitation In favor or stopping the use
Of this stone. which physicians are a
unit in denouncing as a humbug Two
weeks ago a Mrs. Waugh. Of Columbus,
presented herself at the relic room in
the Statehouse. where the stone Is kept
and saying she had been bitten by a
dog. asked to have the stone applied TO
the wound. This was done, 1t has since
developed that the dog was not mad.
but she is now IN critical condition.
blood poisoning having developed from
the wound.
This stone was originally owned by a
coIored man named Depp. living in
Delaware county. When he died he be-
queathed it to the State. 1t has been in
the museum of the State capitol for
about a dozen years, and has been used
scores of times there. The custodian OF
the museum has always been the oper-
ator He boils II in sweet milk for a
few minutes and then applies the stone
to the naked wound II it adheres it is
taken as evidence that the patient was
inoculated, and IL is permitted to re-
main on the wound until ii releases it
self. II it refuses TO adhere ii is re-
mad.
Since the State keeps the stone and
permits its use. physicians claim that 1t
becomes particeps crimints in the prac-
tice OF humbuggery, which they say
may do a great deal OF harm In pre-
venting the patient from getting ra-
uonal treatment before 1t Is too late.
DR. G. o. Probst, OF the State board
Of health, said last night that the boil
ing OF the stone was a wise precaution,
as II removed the danger of blood
poisoning from the application of the
stone Otherwise II would be highly
dangerous 10 place the stone against
the raw wound. But the application of
the hot stone no doubt broke down the
tissues and left the wound in the best
possible condition to be poisoned from
other sources.
He said that the laboratory OF his
board was now prepared to determine
whether IN animal supposed to have
rabies really suffered with the disease
or not in a few days. Formerly IL was
necessary TO inoculate some animal with
the virus and wait 10 see whether IL
developed rabies. That took a week or
two. That process had now been super
seeded by the more rapid method.-Toledo
