The Daily Dispatch: July 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], Death from hydrophobia. (search)
Death from hydrophobia.
--Patrick Smith, residing in Newark, N. J., died on Saturday from hydrophobia.
Some two months since he was bitten in the hand by a small dog with which he was playing.
In his anger he at once stamped upon and killed the dog, but not having any reason to believe that he was mad, Smith paid little attention to the wound, which soon healed.
On Friday last, having previously experienced some pain in the finger in which he had been, bitten, he called upon Dr. Dodd and complained to him of general indisposition.
The Doctor found him suffering from such symptoms as usually accompany delirium tremens, and after prescribing certain remedies, advised Smith to go home and go to bed. On Saturday morning Dr. Dodd called upon his patient, and during the visit discovered in his actions the unmistakable symptoms of hydrophobia.
He lingered in greapugony until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when death put an end to his sufferings.
