HYDR0PH0BIA KILLS
feVenty-nine-Year-Old Joseph Gerst, Of
DanVille, Pa, the Victim.

feVenty-nine-Year-old Joseph Gerst, OF
Danville, Pa, the Victim.
Danville. Pa. June Il - Joseph
Gerst. aged sevcnty.nine years. died
here from hydrophobia. Mr.. Gerst was
bitten by a dog two months ago and
the wound was apparently healed
when the disease broke out. Scores OF
physicians visited the patient. and all
said the disease was rabies in its most
malignant form.
During the last stages of the disease
the patient was unable to swallow wa.
ter. barked and had violent convul.
sions. Toward the end these gave way
TO paralysis from which he passed
peacefully into death.
The death of Mr.. Gerst follows a
series of mad-dog scares in Danville
which have extended over a year. and
during which scores OF dogs have Gone
much damage before they were killed.
Several of the mad dogs have bitten
many other dogs. q number OF horses
and even persons. A child was bitten
by the same dog that was responsible
for the death of NJ. Gerst. but as yet
no signs of rabies have developed in
this case. Several horses in Danville
and vicinity have developed rabies and
been shot. Since the death of MIR.
Gerst a number of dogs have been shot.
