Mrs. Maria Parr of South Bartonville died at the Cotage hospital in Peoria as the result of a cat’s bite. Two weeks before her pet lacerated her hand while at play. She immediately was seized with hysteria and at the end of four days acute dementia developed. Then her hand and arm began to swell and blacken, the patient growing weaker and weaker until she died.
