When a Negro boy in Charleston, S.C. was bitten, the doctors began running through the usual drugs. But 45 minutes after the injection of calcium gluconate, the boy still cried out with pain. After another shot he seemed to get worse. A slow injection of salt and sugar was no help; pentobarbital sodium, codeine and Aspirin left him still twitching on the bed.
