ct Dupraz, y years Of age, i'll rescu-

O'Clock Tie child was able to recognize
her father as he bent over her bed
side. Shortly afterward she lost con
seriousness and remained so until he
death.
The child was bitten about three
months ago. She was playing OF
her front porch when a stray dog wa.
kicked into the gutter by a pedestrian
at whom the animal snapped.
Little Margaret's heart was touch
ed in sympathy for the dumb brut
and running into the street, picke6
the dog up and carried it to the pore
where she tried to nurse it. The
animal snapped, inficting a Sigh
scratch on the ri ht thumb. This was
cauterized at the time and the Incl
dent was forgotten by the child and
her family. tl
Last Sunday morning the little cir
failed to get up and complained t.
her mother that she felt tingling il
her right thumb where she had beer
bitten.
at starts at my thumb, mother
and runs up my arm to the back o.
my head, where it stops" the chilC
said.
The child was kept from Sunday
school and administered to in the
hopes that the sensation would abate
Her condition gradually grew worse
the sensations in the hand ceased t,
Jingle and began to ache until the
pains became so severe that convul
sions and spasms followed.
