FRON FRICHT Dog’s Attack on Girl Cause of Fatal Malady That Is Baffling Medical Science | GOES INTO CONVULSIONS While No Bite Marks Could Be Found, Case Is Said to Resemble Hydrophobia A little girl, formerly the embodiment of health, now wasted and frail, whose eyes are closed in seml-conscious stupor, lies strapped to a bed in the Children's Hospital, while learned doctors are balk- ed in prescribing the cure for her ail- ment. Some eight months ago, 1l0-year-old Dorothy Feeney of 233 Waller street was attacked by a vicious mastiff. The child was frightened into hysterics, which de- veloped into ravings, and ir aid is not soon given to the sufferer her death will result. Dorothy, accompanied by her little sis- ter Frances, was on an errand for her mother at the time she encountered the dog. As they passed the house of Rich- ard McCann, a contractor of 251 Waller street, a large mastiff, named Beauty, belonging to McCann, sprang upon Dor- othy and knocked her to the ground. The little one screamed with fright and the | dog was called off before doing further harm. . When Dorothy arrived home, accom- panied by Frances and the little daughter of McCann, she was in a state of col- lapse from fright. The mother soothed her and nothing was thought of the oc- currence as there were no marks of the dog’s teeth on the child’s body. Soon af- terward the little girl complained daily of severe pains in the head and one after- | noon had the first of a series of attacks that resemble hydrophobia, utterly baf- fling to medical sclence. ‘When the attacks came on, Dorothy’s | screams and ravings could be heard by those passing the house. She was strap- ped to her little bed and between convul- | sions begged her mother to “take the dog away; he's biting my hand: he'll kill me!” The agonized mother did her best to soothe the patient, but her efforts and those of Dr. T. E. Shumate, called in, were of no avail. In her deHrium the little girl could not recognize her mother or her brother and two little sisters. Cocaine and chloro- form were administered to bring relief, but with small effect. In her lucid in- tervals she refuses to eat and is slowly dying of exhaustion. Finally Dr. Shumate, of whom the mother speaks in grateful terms, succeed- | | ed in having Dorothy removed French Hospital. Her cries and ravings disturbed the other patients and after six days she was sent home. Later Dr. Shumate arranged to have her taken to the Children’s Hospital, where she is at present. When the mother visited her child yesterday the sufferer failed to rec- ognize her. The doctors assured Mrs. Feeney- that the girl was consclous and knew what was passing, but seemed too exhausted even to open her eves. Dorothy's father was in the hospital when the first attack came on. Last April he died, and the care and worry over the little patlent have devolved upon the mother, who, it is said, has aged greatly since the trouble. The owner of the dog has never visited the mother nor | inquired after the little one's condition or offered to bear a share of the expense | that his dog has brought upon the wid- owed mother. MecCann is a contractor and is said to have considerable wealth. —_———— LOW RATES.
