new york a dog bite by a mad dog was a sure way of terrorizing a new yorker especially in the summer months if a snarling rabid dog with a foaming mouth bit us within a few weeks we would die from the disease hydrophobia this was an especially fearful event in the summertime the scientists of the era particularly at the pasteur institute in paris were applying germ theory to many diseases discovering antidotes and treating patients from around the world louis pasteur was a highly respected scientist who had discovered how to make milk safe to drink by heating it to reduce bacteria in 1884 he announced a cure for hydrophobia with a series of inoculations that if taken in time could prevent the onset of the disease and save the life of the person bitten by a rabid dog it wasn t long
