Chap. Hydrophobia.

Abstract

Barker presents several cases of hydrophobia, or rabies, written by physicians in the United States and abroad, with two apparent “cures.” For example, Joseph Gallup of Vermont apparently cured a case of a twenty-eight-year-old male bitten in the arm by a dog known to be mad because other animals bitten by it had “died within 21 days, a dog, two hogs and a sheep, with all the symptoms of canine madness”; two other dogs on being taken sick were killed.
