1t is stated that Jim Loftin, the little
boy, who died last Monday, may not
have died from rabies. As stated by
The Leader, the boy was bitten by a
mad dog in January, and was treated
by the Pasteur Institute in Atlanta,
and discharged as cured. When he was
taken sick Monday he died before
physicians could reach him, and from
the symptoms given, they are Of the
opinion that death was not caused by
hydophobia. The records and the evil
dence at the Pasteur Institute are de-
cicidedly against the supposltien that
the unfortunate boy died from the Of.
fects of the dog bite.
