Danbury Veterinarian Administers 10 Million
Antitetanus Units To Biggest Patient OF Career

DIR. James R. Merrick, Danbury
veterinarian, added something
quite new to his broad profes-
sional experience Sunday morn
ing, when he uwaS called upon
to treat Barbara, dainty little
five and one-half year old female
Barbara was unable to call at
the doctors office near Lakeside,
so he went to her to administer
tent-side treatment.
Concerned about the condition
of Barbara, because she was
threatened with lockjaw as the
result of stepping on a large rusty
nail, the NEWS questioned Mel
Lewis. general manager of the
AL G. Kelly and Miller Brothe, S
Circus, which, made a one day
stand at Appleville, Sunday after
noon.
He explained that Barbara was
under the attentive care of Col.
Bill Woodcock, elephantmaster.
Dr. Merrick has handled lot
of mammal patients but this was
the first time he was called to
treat a three-ton animal He
quiried Col. Woodcock as to
where he would find the point
of penetration for insertion of the
biggest syringe he could find in
his kit.
The Colonel said the only prac-
tical place would be directly be-
hind the elephants huge ears.
An attendant was summoned with
a broom, who vigorously scrub
bed dirt and dust from the pachy-
derm's head. Barbara was told
to lay on her side, which she did
laboriously. Once down DR.. Mer-
risk went to work quickly, plung
ing the needle as far as he could
handle it in the tough hide, and
sent nine million units of penicil-
lin in Barbara's system, before
she leaped to her feet with an ele-
phantine yowl.
After some long minutes of ca
joling and coaxing by the ele-
\phant'S master, Barbara was made
to lie on her side, and again DR..
Merrick sprang to the task of in
jecting one million units of anti
tetanus serum behind the other
ear.
AS the show packed up late
Sunday afternoon to continue on
its way to Monroe, Mich, Bar
bara was resting we'll. Her keep
er was convinced that DR.. Mer-
rick's injections would save the
circus a valuable and expensive
attraction.
Enroute to Port Clinton one of
the kangaroos gave birth to an
offspring which was no larger
than a baby's hand, but in heal
thy condition.
