i ye OF HYDROPHOBIA.! Prominent Business Man Suffers Terrible Tor- ture as a Result of Rabies. ‘W. D. Gleason, a real estate broker, @ trustee of the Baptist Temple, and one of the most prominent citizens of Brook- fyn, died in horrible agony of hydro- phobia at his residence, No. 145 South Oxford street, nearly four months after he had been bitten in his thumb by a pet terrier. Not the slightest symptom Of the terrible diseaso macifested itself nul Saturday morning. ‘The frighttul paroxysms which at- @ended Mr. Gleason's death lasted for @ore than twenty-four hours, during which time he suffered awful torture. ‘Two physicians and two male nurses were in constant attendance, and !t re- Quired their combined efforts to keep the frenzied victim of rables from epringing out of bed and injuring mem- bers of the household. The merciful use of anaesthetics ren- @ered the last seven hours of the pa- Gent's Iife less agonising, but even though robbed of consciousness the epusms which racked his frame did not @ease until death came as a relief at 3 @'clock yesterday afternoon. The Fatal Bite. Last March a pet terrier, of which Mr. Gleason and his wife and daughter were very fond, {nuured a foot. Mr. Gleason attempted to dress the injury on March 2), and while ceing so gave the injured leg a wrench. The dog. with a cry of pain. turned and buried {ta teeth tn Mr. Gleason's thumb. The wound bled freely and Mr. Glea- gon had it cauterized at once. As it quickly healed, giving him no paisa, he goon forgot it. Dr. Blackman, the fam- fly physician, at No. 519 Clinton avenue, cauterized the wound, and soon only a tiny scar remained, Mr. Gleason had no thought of any @ertous consequences and the !dea of ydrophobla, his family say, never oc- eurred to him. He retained his robust health and went about nis work as usual. It was not unti! Saturday morn- ing that there wax any Indication of the disease. He felt as well as usual when he arose on Saturday mirning, but when he went to the washstand and turned the water on he experienced a paroxysm in his throat. He was startled, but did not connect the pain with the dog bite and attempted to dash water over his face. Another spaem of pain relzed him so violently that he cried out, Mrs, Gleason hurried to his side and he told her of the strange symptoms, which ceaned an soon as water wan re- moved. She advised him to go and see Dr, Blackman immediately after break- fast. At the breakfast table Mr. Gleason waa selzed with the pain in his throat when he tried to swallow a gh of milk. Still not reriously alarmed, Mr. Gleason started for his office, at No, 2 Court street. On the way to the street car he be- came faint and turned back to tho ce of Dy, Blackman. He explained symptoms to the physician, who remembered with horror the dog bite watch he had cauteriged nearly four months before. He said nothing of his fear, however, and calmly poured a few drops of medicine in a glass of water, which he gave to Mr, Gleason. Doctor Seen His E: The unfortunate man grow pale and trembled violently as he took the glass in his hand. He raised it, with a de- termined effort of his will, to his Ips, when he throat contracted and the glass dropped wth a crash to the floor. Dr. Blackman told Mr, Gleason to return home and followed him at once. Mr. Gleason collapsed a9 soon as he entered the house, and spasm after spasm of frightful pain convulsed his fame, Dr. Blackman called Dr, Snarpe. of No, 100 Hanson piace, into consulta- tion. ‘Two male nurs e called in, and.the Pasteur Institute was commun cated with. They pronounced Mr. Gle: son in the last stages of rabies. Drugs had no effect on the doomed pa- All night he frothed at the emiting strange, sharp suunds tithing In convulsive agony. Soon it took the combined strength of the four men to keep him in bed. When It became evident yesterday morning that he could not be saved the physicians re- sorted to the tise of chloroform to take away consciousness of suffering, al- though even with that ald the parox: lume could not be stilled. AUS o'clock the family wax summoned to the bedalde, aad a few minutes Inter Dr. Blackman took his hand from the patient's heart and announced the end. Mr. Gleason leaves a wife and one daughter. He was forty-nine years old and prominent in business and social life in Brooklyn He was formerly a mem- ber of the firm of Cobb, Gleason & Wood, and later was in business with R. W!
