Mad Man?

In Pittsburgh last week Mike Rusco's mad dog bit him. He violently refused Pasteur treatment: "Any man who dies from a dog bite is a weakling. I'm not worried. All I want to do is get my hands on the guy who killed my dog on account of the bite."

Laws on personal liberty permit a man to refuse serums if he does not want them. Hence Pittsburgh's Director of Health, Dr. Charles Buckley Maits had to wait until Mike Rusco, 45, should develop rabies as he was practically certain to do. Then, since there is no cure, but only prevention for rabies, when Mike Rusco's bite or froth from his mouth becomes dangerous to the community. Dr. Maits would imprison him "until the inevitable end comes."
