blackened and the stock Injured by

And It Ws Mlstakon for Gentian -She
M ill Kccover.
To the prompt discovery of her mis
take and the Immediate measures of
physicians, Is due the fact that Miss S.
A. Santee, of 30 West Market street,

that she should take a teaspoonful of
exlixlr of gentian, and going to a side
board, Bhe poured out the required
quantity and swallowed It. The medi
cine tasted dlerently to that she had
been taking and glancing at the label
on the bottle, was horrified to discover
that Instead of elixir of gentlun slid
had swallowed a teaspoonful of Fowl
er's solution of arsenic. She hurriedly
ran out of the house and down to Dr.
Taylor's office on. Franklin street,
where emetics were administered and
she was sent home In a cab. Here Dr.
Barney continued treatment and by
hard work saved the young lady's life.
