"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Monday, October 7, 1907 SHE'S USING A MADSTONE. A madstone is being used in the hope of saving Mrs. Lulu McINTOSH of 605 Osage avenue, West Side, from an attack of hydrophobia. Mrs. McINTOSH was bitten by a dog that had rabies last Monday, and Wednesday a madstone belonging to Harry DUNCAN of Armourdale, was applied. The stone adhered to the wound. The madstone has been in the DUNCAN family several generations, and it has been used three times before to save persons who were bitten by mad dogs. Mrs. McINTOSH was able last night to walk to a neighbor's house, a block from her home. The stone continued to "stick" whenever it was applied. Those who know all about madstones say that so long as one continues to adhere to a bite the cure is not complete. If the stone Mrs. McINTOSH is using does not prove successful, Mrs. McINTOSH will go to a sanitarium in Chicago, where persons who have hydrophobia are treated. The dog that inflicted the bite escaped from a cage in a veterinary hospital and has not been found. ====================================================== (I have no connection with these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
