BITTEN BY A RAT

Last Tuesday morning Dr. G. C. Rubel was called to the farm house of H.
Claussen, five and one-half miles northeast of town, to attend a child,
one year old, that had been bitten an hour before by a rat, while asleep
in its cradle.  It was bitten in the wrist, and the hand and arm were
quite badly swollen.  Owing to its filthy habits of feeding, it is more
poisonous than that of any other animal, except perhaps the skunk.
While it has not stored virus, its teeth are coated with poisonous
bacteria from which it may communicate not only blood poison, but also
hydrophobia.  Dr. Rubel succeeded in relieving the little sufferer and
left it in a comfortable condition, with every prospect of speedy
recovery.
