When 'hter of Mr. ilurerillali, reached the-slde of her moth er, she Imagined that the fumes of luudanum were In the room, nnd In the excitement of the moment u hasty conclusion was drawn that the woman had atempted suicide nnd a physician was summoned. The cause for this suspicion that Mrs. Jeremiah lind tried to end her life will be given later. When Dr. F. C. Hall arrived at the bedside of tho Woman who still lay there In a rigid position, he bngan to look for signs of poisoning. First the eyes were tested. ' In cases of opium poisoning;, of whjclt laudanum is a form, the pupils of the eyes are contracted. Dr. Hall found that this symptom was not visible. He then looked for "slow" respiration, another test, but the pulse beat was regular. The head and feet, cold un der poison's effect, were wnrn and normal. Dr. Hall then announced that Mr. Jeremiah had not taken laudanum. His prescription sent to the drug store called for "permnngunnte of pot ash," used In eases of nervous prostra tion and after the woman had taken of the restoration she was considered out of danger. At no time was sh,o un conscious and she responded intelli gently to tho physician's questions, When Dr. Hall was examining the sick woman tho report spread that Mrs. Jeremiah bad taken luudanum. The cause of Mrs. Jeremiah's Illness is In the dbliiiis of W. II. Wright, her son-in-law, who recently failed In busi ness and heretofore had had trouble with his wife, formerly Miss Annie Jeremiah. These misfortunes have so preyed on Mrs. Jeremiah's mind that she was completely overcome. She was . resting comfortably at last report. ' PERSONAL, MENTION. Charles .1.
