Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 249, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1917 — Treatment for Dog Bites. [ARTICLE]

Treatment for Dog Bites.

A dog bite is not always followed by hydrophobia. Wash the wound with an antiseptic promptly and rinse with a solution of water of ammonia—a teaspoonful to a cupful of boiled water. Further to Insure safety, the wound may be sucked out, but this should not be done until It has been cleansed and rinsed. Anything sucked out should not be swallowed, and the mouth should be rinsed. Of course, a surgeon should be consulted.
