TWO PATIENTS FOR RABIES

TWO PERSONS BITTEN IN DETROIT THIS WEEK 

Came to the Pasteur Institute Here Yesterday--They Were Bitten by Different Dogs

The Pasteur Institute recently established in this city is finding plenty of work to do.

A. H. Langdon, a Highland Park farmer, was bitten Sunday in the hand by a little pet spaniel, which was afterwards carried in her arms by its lady owner to a veterinary hospital in Detroit, where it was pronounced to have a well developed case of hydrophobia. He came to this city Wednesday afternoon for treatment at the institute.

George T. Mann, a sixteen years old boy, of Detroit, was bitten on the hand by a mad dog two days ago and was brought here by his father Wednesday night.

Dr. Brenton says the veterinary hospital has received 100 mad dogs since last June and two horses suffering from rabies due from bites from mad dogs. He advocates rigorous measures for stamping out the prevalence of hydrophobia.
