Rodent Nibbles at Bacon on Bruised Foot and Sinks Teeth in Toe.
Anderson, Ind., Sept. 1.-Arther, the 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Schofield, almost bled to death as a result of having been bitten on the toe by a rat. While playing about the yard the child stubbed his toe and the mother applied home remedies to the bruise in the form of a generous slice of pork fat.
The boy then played in the wood shed and the rodent was evidently attracted by the odor of the meat. It nibbled at the bacon unknown to the child and finally plunged its sharp teeth into the toe. The wound bled profusely and the child was at the point of death from loss of blood when a physician arrived.
