Death *r a Batcher who wu Bitten

la a Straight Sachet.
Those who have doubted the eiietenee
of hydrophobia were taken aback yester
day by the death of William McCormick,
of No. 809 East Fifty-first street, whose
ease exhibited all the must pronounced
symptoms of that dlseaae. A little over
a month ago, Mr. MoGormick, who is a
botcher, and also follows the express busi
ness, was bitten by a small dog. The
wound was upon the hand, and was so
slight that it aeemod to be only a scratch,
and of no importance whatever. His wife
and family expressed great anxiety on
aoconnt of the stir about mad dogs ; but
he laughed at their fears, assuting them
that the dog was not ma I, and that there
could be no danger* Tfao dog was taken
to the pound auSUU* so that there bas
been noebneeto'prove whether he had
rabies or not. _
experlanMMpsiuu la his neck and about his
shoulders. He believed that he bad rheu
matism, and again laughed at the fears of
his wife ana family. He eontinued to
grow worse, and applied liniments and
fomentations. He did not consult a phy
sician, and continued about his business
sb usual.
On Wednesday at 10 Mr. McOormiok
complained of feeling a peculiar oreeping
sensation coming up his baok and spread
ing over his shoulders and the beck of bis
neek. He told his wife that he felt faint,
and she brought him a glass of water. He
took the glass in his hand and placed it to
his lips to drink. His teeth closed upon
the edge of the glass, bis lips became
purple, and his faoe presented the app.jr-
ance of a person asphyxiated by choking.
The muscles about hiB neck were con
tracted, aud he caught his breath rapidly,
and at iutervuls conld not breath at all.
Ur. Heddou, of No. 155 East Fifty-first
Btreet, was sent for, and he reaohed the
house as the spasm was passing off. The
physician examiucd the patient carefully,
and prouonnoed the case one of true hy
drophobia. lie prescribed snodynes, and
went on* promising to oall again at 10
o’elook.
Dr. lleddon called upon Dr. W. E. Lea-

smI r-’.juested him to call with him upon
Mr. McCormick. At 19, as agreed upon,
they met at McCormick’s house ami went
tu the patient’s room. Without hesita
tion, Dr. Leavitt said that he considtred
the case one of pronounced hydrophobia.
Since the former visit the ease bad ad
vanced very rapidly, and tho convulsions
followed each other with great rapidity.
Seeing that the patient would soon be be
yond the control of the family, male
uurses were sent for. The most powerful
anodynes and narootics Beamed to have
no effeet, aud the disease increased rapid
ly toward a fatal termination.
At 8:18 yesterday morning the
convulsions were so terrible that the
nurses could not ooutcol the patieut.
lie would straighten himself out
and then spring with bis might
throw himself from the bed. His jaws
snapped together and froth ran from bis
month in Btreama. Perspiration rolled
from all parts of his body, wetting through
hie shirt and bedding. His face was
livid, and from time to time hie throat
seemed to oontract, until the large nine,
oles stood out in cords. His agony was
intense, and even ohloroform could not
be given to qniet tbe convulsions. At
length a patrolman was ealled in and sent
tb tbe Futy-ninth-Bt. Police Station for
help, and a straight Jacket. Sergeant
Fanning sent ltonndsman West with the
straight jacket and to render snch assist,
ante as might bs necessary. With their
nailed strength tbe straight jacket was
applied and then more control could be
exercised over the patient.
The physicians remained with Mr. Mc
Cormick all night, bnt their efforts were
unavailing. Yesterday forenoon Drs,
William A. Hammond, Hogan, C. V.
Bussell, Hamilton, Vlele of the Board of
Health, Tattle, Gremin, E. D. Leavitt
and other scientists were called in to see
the patient. They made a careful exami.
nation of the foots connected with tbe
case. Each symptom was weighed with
the greatest oare, and every point upon
which issue could be taken was disonssed
fully. At length they decided that tbe
case was one of tine hydrophobia, and
llat no doabt conld be oast upon its gen
uineness. The time that bad elapsed
from the bite of tbe dog agreed with tbe
usual time of incubation. Tbe Blight na
ture of tho wound did not militate against
the diagnosis, because many of the most
prouounoed oases of hydrophobia on re-
oord have come from j ust snob punctures.
The healing of the wonnd was natural,
and thiB is usual after the bites of rabid
dogs. The first symptoms and the rapid
progress of tbe disease agreed with tbe
scientiflo investigations in previous eases
in London and PsriB. Tbe fatal termina
tion most soon come, and then a scien
tific investigation is to be made, and the
mierosoope may reveal important facta.
The treatment bad been the free adminis
tration of anodynes and narootics, as far

as possible, bnt tbe constancy i
tho ooiiYnlbious rapidly folio
ith which
_ _ lowed eaoh
other made the administration of any
remedies uncertain aud difficult.
Daring the afternoon Mr. McOormiok
waa constantly in a state of spasm. So
rapidly did they follow one another that
the convulsions seemed almost continu
ous. About 4 o’clock signs of weakness
were shown for the first time, and it be
came evident that a change was near. A
little chloroform was administered, and
afterward the patient was a little easier,
and tried to speak. Before bis sentence
could bo finished, another spasm came on,
more terrible than any. His back was
bent like a bow, and tbe entire weight of
the body rested upon the head and heels.
His jaws crashed together, and once his
teeth went through his tongue, causing it
to bleed profusely. The blood and froth
ran ’from his month spattering over his
faoe aud the bed clothes. Then giving a
tremendous straggle, almost bursting the
bonds of the straight jacket, he threw
himself over upon his side. His jaws
were clinched so tightly that they cracked
in tbe terrible strain. Tbe agony was in
tense. In a few moments, just as the
olook was striking 5, an ashen hue beguu
to Rpretd over his face. Tho mnscnUr
contraction relaxed. The jaw dropped,
and Mr. MoGoriuiok’s terrible sufferings
were over. Death was welcome, for no
person conld have Buffered as be did. He
was evidently conscious all through the
terrible struggle, as was shown by his at
tempt to speak just before his death. The
straight jacket was removed, and then
tbe rigor mortis began to set in. No evi
dence oould be gained as to the efficacy of
any kind of treatment, tbe rapid progress
of the disease to a fatal termination mak
ing every effort futile beyond man's con
trol.
