The Rabies vaccine was invented in 1885, prior to that, all one could do is hope that he didn't catch the virus if bitten by an animal. They would have used morphine, if available, but typically, someone would simply be tied down and nature would take it's course. There is still no realistic treatment if someone contracts the symptoms, it's already too late. That's why it's so important to get the vaccine.
