Huffman |
Death from Hydrophobia.
We regret to hear of the death of David Huffman, son of Mr. T. H.
Huffman, who lives in the neighborhood of Foster's Settlement,
Tuscaloosa county. He died from Hydrophobia on Saturday morning last.
About the 7th or 8 of September he was bitten several times by a small
dog, thought at the time to be rabid, but he improved and seemed to
have recovered from the wounds but on Sunday, the 23rd ult., he
complained that [the bites were] hurting him, also of the pains in his
head. His father bathed and used such means as he thought to have
soothed the sufferer, but on Tuesday following, fever arose and he
continued to grow worse until Saturday morning last when he
died. Drs. Parker and Nichols were with him during his illness
and gave it as their opinion that he died of hydrophobia as every
symptom of the disease was manifest throughout - going into
convulsions when offered a glass of water. This is truly a melancholy
case and the first death of a human being of this dreadful disease
that we have heard of in the State. The afflicted parents have our
sympathies, as David was a lovable and promising son. |
