Hydrophobia Feared
Alarming symptoms from a dog bite sustained Saturday by J.E. Bass, of 1806 Bainbridge Street, have led the attending physicians to declare Mr. Bass in danger of hydrophobia, and to order him rushed to the Pasteur Institute in Washington to undergo a course of treatment. The physicians believe that unless Mr. Bass takes advantage of the treatment his death may result.
Mr. Bass was bitten Saturday while shearing a dog sent him by a South Richmonder, and at first paid little attention to the wound. Soon after, however, it began to swell and become inflamed, and a physician was called ijn to administer treatment. Hydrophobia was not at first feared, but developments yesterday pointed to possible rabies, and Mr. Bass will be hurried to Washington.
According to the owner of the dog, he has never exhibited a vicious or dangerous disposition and the news that he had bitten Mr. Bass came as a surprise. The dog itself is now under close surveillance for signs of rabies, and it is probable that it will be killed on the first indication of the fatal disease.
Mr. Bass is a blacksmith and horse shearer by trade.
