Citizens Beware!
1
BUIE S CBEtiK— Citizens of i
this rutai community were pul j
on the alerl for a dog that bit
little seven-year-old Phillip Me- ;
Lean on August 26, when & re- j
port came from the bedside of
the lad in Duke Hospital, Dur
ham that there was tittle hope
for his recovery.
The dog is still loose in the
community and is known to be
very dangerous.
It appears that the child did
not receive anti-rabies innocu
lations in time. They were not
administered until about »
month after he was bitten by
the dog. The ravages of (he
disease have never been abated
after that much CLmr has
elapsed. His doctor holds out
very little hope for th* deg vic
tim.
At press time the CARO
LINIAN received word that
young McLean had died late
Wednesday afternoon.
