ease as hydrophobia should have
seen HIM also. They would have
a good time explaining what was
the matter with this poor young
father and husband doomed like
ly to g horrible death strapped to
a cot. The life of every dog In
Cham bersburg would not begin
to make up for what that man is
gong through, let alone his
friends and family. 1t has me
all upset.
"The big hearted Chief was not
the only person who was upset by
the dreadful sight, but the streets
of Chambersburg are rs badly
polluted by the worthless and ap-
parently ownerless ours as they
ever were, and your children
stand fair chance to be IN the
same state as is that unfortunate
man. This is not sensationallsm,
1t Is facts. What is to prevent
your child from being bitten and
infected as Mr., Trogler was?
WHAT ?"
DR.. Swartzwelder and MIR.
Daniels reached the hospital III
Baltimore with Mr.. Trogler
about A o'clock Monday after
noon. All the way to the city
Mr.. Trogler was In a highly ex-
cltable state o. mind and was
taken with convulsions twice
during the trip. During these
spasms he became violent and it
took the com bined efforts of his
father-in-law and the physician
TO RESTRAIN him. Upon arrival
of the party in the city he was
greatly agltated and seemed anx.
ious to get to the hospital, as he
thought he then would be relIev
ed from his sufferlngs, Several
times during the trip DR.. Swartz.
welder found 1t necessary to
administer an opiate to quiet
him.
Upon his arrival at the instltu-
ton he was taken immediately to
the surgical ward, and several
sedatlve were administered by
the physicians IN an effort to
quiet HIM. DR.. Gibbs, the as
sistant to DR.. N. G. Kelrle, the
head of the Pastaur institute,
finally removed the patient to a
private room. AS the doctor
and Mr.. Trogler were leaylng the
ward on their way to the room, a
gust of wind blew in the latter's
face, causing him to go into con-
vulsions.
The patient tossed about IN his
bed, at times he would become
violent and thrash about, but
would soon lapse into unconsci-
BUSINESS. One of the nurses or
doctor was constantly in attend
ance, and DR.. Gibbs kept a close
watch on the patient. During his
delirum the patient would cry
for fresh air and repeatedly ask
ed those IN the room whether he
would get well or not. Owing to
the fact that the victim was not
brought to the hospital until the
disease had taken a hrm hold up
on his system the physicians held
out scant hope for his recovery.
The trip was a dangerous one
for DIR. Swartzwelder and Mr..
Daniels, tor the saliva from Trog-
ler's mouth was thrown in every
direction.
DR.. Swartzwelder had small
abrasion on his left thumb and,
fearing that some of the poison
Gus SALIVA might have found It's
way INTO the cut he had the wound
cauterized.
Although the victim was we'll
to-do, he made no will, for no one
had told him that he was so near
deaths door. He did not realize
that he was so Ill, but called con-
stantly for air and sunshine,
which, he believed, would benefit
him, but he could not bear the
slightest biz of air. With every
draft, no matter how slight, the
victim went into convulsions.
During the trip from Merce2s-
burg TO Baltimore the Doctor and
father-in-law had to hold Trog-
Ian aud sbiald him from tho w,nd
