ANOTHER DEATH CAUSED by THE CARE
LEssNEss OF DRUGGIsT.-A sudden death
occurred in Chicago on Saturday night last,
the particulars of which are thus given by
the Chicago Times:
"Mr. George II. Deming, of South Bend J,
Ind. came to Chicago for the purpose OF
witnessing the game of baseball between
the Red Stockings, of Cincinnati, and the
Forest City Club, of Rockford. He remain
ed at Ogden Park during the greater part
of the game, but toward evening was at
tackled with diarrhea, which compelled him
to leave the scene of the contest. On his
way to his hotel Deming stopped at the
drug store of Mr.. j. j. Harrington and
asked the proprietor for medicine to
check his complaint. The druggist said
he could give him immediate relief, and,
going to his bottles, undertook to pre-
pare compound of brandy, ginger, and
camphor, but, by mistake, prepared a dose
of ginger, camphor, and aconite, the latter,
very singularly, standing in a bottle next
to, and similar to, the one in which was
kept Harrington's supply of brandy. The
unfortunate man drank the mixture, and
lived only three hours atterward. After
young Deming had taken the potion he hur-
ried to his hotel, and, going at once to his
room, rang the bell, and asked that ply
scan be sent for, as he feared he was going
to be very sick. As soon as possible Dir.
Lee visited E,he sufferer in his room, and
after rapid examination gave it as his
opinion that the man had been poisoned.
He questioned his patient, who speedily in
formed the Doctor of the fact of his having
drank of the mixture prepared by the north
side druggist. Soon afterward Mr.. Deming
expired. Coroner Cleaves was notified, and
an inquest asked for. After a jury had
been empannelled, the facts as above mar
rated were adduced in addition to which
Mr.. Harrington, the druggist, appeared be-
fore the jury and voluntarily stated that
he had made the mistake which had been
productive of such terrible results. The
following verdict was rendered: 'We, the
jury, find that the said George IL. Deming
came to his death from an overdose OF AGO.
mite administered for brandy by one j. j.
Harrington, druggist, on the corner of Hi
nois and Rush streets and, from the tes-
timony adduced, we, the jury, believe that
the said Harrington was guilty of criminal
carelessness III not having his bottles
plainly marked and in their proper places,
through which means the mistake occurred
which led to this fatal result.'n
