"HYDROPHOBIA -- ONE OF THE SPITZ DOG'S VICTIMS. -- The Death of Little Charlie Leibrick--Bitten Six Weeks Ago and Dead on Monday--The Father's and the Doctor's Store--"Good Night, Papa." --Another death from that horrible and mysterious disease, hydrophobia, has occurred, the victim in this instance being a child of tender years, and the cause a bite by one of that villainous breed of dogs whose presence in a city in which the literally swarm is almost as dangerous as that of so many cobras.
Mr. Charles Leibrick, a salesman in the hardware store of Shields & Brother, 119 North Third street, resides with his family at No. 1541 North Twenty-fourth street, and it is his youngest child, Charles Edward Leibrick, unusually bright for his only two years and eight months of life, who is the victim of the terrible calamity. Last evening Mr. Leibrick was called upon and related the story of the child's sufferings and death, as follows:
THE FATHER'S STORY. Six weeks ago today Charlie was playing with other children on the pavement in front of the beer saloon of Joseph Eichmann, on the southwest corner of Twenty-third and Bolton, about two squares away from here. Eichmann's child was playing with a Spitzer dog belonging to him and the dog afterwards jumped in an apparently playful manner from one child to another, when suddenly my boy cried out that he was bitten. He was taken into Eichmann's house and then brought home. He was then at once sent to my family doctor, and word was brought back that the doctor did not think it was a dog bite. I saw the marks when I came home that night; one was on the left eye-brow and the other on the left cheek just below the eye. Both together were not as big as the head of a ten-penny nail. I did not think t hem the result of a dog bite, because a woman who saw the child fall as the dog jumped at it said that they were caused by his face striking aginst the wheel of a baby carriage. The marks disappeared in twelve hours.
THE FIRST SYMPTOMS. I had been for a long while in the habit of carryng my boy after he had awakened every morning down stairs 'piggy back,' a practice he enjoyed very much, but on last Saturday morning, for the first time, he showed a fear of falling so marked and unnatural as to excite my notice. He played all that day with his siters, as usual, but his mother noticed he was drooping. Sunday morning he was still evidently out of sorts, but nothing happened of note ubntil the afternoon. Then his mother stripped him for the purpose of washing him all over and dressing him. The instant the water came in contact with his body he gave a yell unlike any sound she ever heard before. I came home about 6 o'clock, and she reported dto me what had happened. I took him upstairs and sat with him on my knee for an hour and a half. He consented, but when I laid him down, he gave a yell such as I never heard anything like in life.
THE DYING CHILD. From that time he would never lie down, and it was then his convulsions began. These were from seven to ten minutes apart, lasting a minute at a time. The sight and touch of water caused them the worst; a tear that dropped from my eye upon his cheek threw him into a convulsion. The convulsions lasted all Sunday night and Monday until ten minutes past 6 o'clock in the evening,when he died very easisly. He was sensible all through his sickness, and just before his death he said to his little sisters, who were crying beside him: 'Oh don't cry. I will pray for you all when I get to heaven.' His last words were: 'Good night, papa.'"
(The article goes on to give a lengthy report of the boy's symptoms from the attending doctors. I believe that today, this would be called rabies.) -- 21 Nov 1877, The Philadelphia (PA) Times.
