- . 1905 Aug 1 - MAD DOG SCARE. THREE PERSONS BITEN AT CORSICANA DURING THE EXCITEMENT:
Two supposed mad dogs were killed yesterday. One of them bit W H Sitton & his 2 sons before being killed. It also bit several dogs. Mr. Sitton & his 2 sons went to a mudstone 14 miles from here & the stone adhered to each of the wounds for more than an hour.
Ref: Houston Chronicle Newspaper.
Note: Madstone: This home remedy was used for centuries to heal. A mad stone (sometimes called a ‘bezoar stone’) is used to draw poison out of bites & wounds. It works by absorbing the poison bit by bit, curing the bites by detoxifying them completely.
. Mad stones can be found in the stomach or intestines of cud-chewing animals.
. Depending on the animal, the stone may be more potent & valuable; for example, the stone of a brown deer is said to be inferior to that of a white deer.
. . Mad stones are not to be bought or sold; such interaction may negate their healing powers.
