of tincture of rhubarb, and a few drops of laudanum;
but he incautiously mistook the bottles, and took
three drachms of the latter, with a small portion of
rhubarb. However, he had scarcely swallowed
the dose before he discovered the mistake, and by
taking so lirge a quantity as two flasks of oil, some
vinegar, and the early attendance of a medical Gen-
tleman, the deplorable effects apprehended were hap-
pily prevented, ald the Gentleman feels at present
I perfectly recovered.
