A 17 year old, Hugo Eitel, accused of hydrophobia was treated at Presbyterian Hospital. Doctors feared the dog bite may trigger hydrophobia but found fear caused the symptoms. After a first spanking and discharge, a relapse prompted a second spanking which stopped the barking and fully cured him. His father was ordered to spank him if he tries to bark again.
