STRANGE CASE OF POISONING IN
DONCASTER.

On Thursday tut, a highly respectable female, of
the age of thirty.fosr, atteml.ted to poison herself in this
tows; and as the CYO had excited considerable interest,
owing to the symptoms presenting I. their eztetaal appear•
snot great resemblance to those manifested prior to the
death *1 the entortuaste Cook at Moseley, we give them as
they have come to oar knowledge. It appears that loon
after twelve o'clock on the morning in question, D•. Dunn
reoeived an intimation that a female bad taken poison.
Ho was not at home at that tint.. His assistant, how-
ever, Mr. F. Mursdin. immediately visited her and
ailed in the attendance of another medical gentleman,
when an emetic of sulphate of sine was administered. It
produced the desired effect. Dr. Dean then atrived,
and found her in a languid state. He gave her a little
sherry, and she was instantly 'seised with moat violent
sprouts of the whole =stealer system. She became rigid
—the bead was drawn beck, the Gat became livid, the
hands clenched, the body fined, the legs stiff, and the
waives very hard and in lamps es In cramp. She was
then laid on the floor. TOO pulse was gone, and to ell
appearance she was a corpse. In a minute or a minute
and a half she again breathed and slowly revived. He
MOM applied tincture of iodine is dales of fifteen drops,
every fifties minute,. The spume became leas and len
severe, until about five o'clock, when they warned. She
had one more severs attack, but not nearly to bad es that at
one o'clock. They afterwards became my slight, and at
nine entirely ceased, and the chemical antidote was discon-
tinued. The patient pr•ord a qaiet night, end in the
ear"rniag of the day following (Ft iday)she complained much
of head-ache, nimbuses of the whole body, and was unable
to see her lower I.mte. Dr. Dona gave the dynamic
antidote (opium). The head was relieved: she had a scud
irglit, talon Saturday morning expressed herself as mach
het•er, and d ' ri to en home. She could 'tend, but still
felt groat notabni es in the lege ; bat towards seeming she
was able to walk, and proceeded to bet own resideac•.
On Sunday, she •gain complained of numbness, and
the opium was still contioued. On ;Monday she took
a walk with a friend, and declared herself to be nearly
well, bat had au aoplee•ent taste In Aar mouth.
Wa have stuliously avoicird all asses; but we can vouch
for the accuracy of the fact,. The case is painfully inte-
resting. The Gaffer= bee a hied husband and affectionate
children, but labours order the mocomenia that she dose
to' do her duty to them, and that they would be better
without her. She left home on Thursday forenoon,
having seld—" My children, pour things, will be better
without me " Soo went to a druggist's shop and asked
for something to kill mice and vermin, and purchased,
about half-past ten o'clock, a thnapenay packet of Henley
vermin killer. She west to the house of a friend and asked
to go late the yard, and there took the entire coolant's, in-
*ladies the wrat per! She then immediately returned, but
on the way complained of feeling giddy, and told her con -
pinion to take bold of her, when sits almost instantly fell
with mouth violence on the beck of her head. This was a
quarter to twelve o'clock oa Thursday, and she was re-
moved to a frirod's house 'less by. She made no hesitation
in communicating w►at she had taken; and what after-
wards occurred is already deser"bed.—Donerakr Gasetti.
