ST. LOUIS, June pa letter from Her
mitage, Missouri, gives an account of ter
rible case of poisoning which occurred in
the town of Wheatland on Wednesday 1t
appears that a young man named Moore !
applied to the county physician for pre-
scT1ptiOn for some medicine to cure ague, |
and as he objected to taking qUinine, the |
doctor prescribed a dose of bitters-com- |
pounded Peruvian bark, dOgwood and |
whisky Young Moore took dose of bit |
tiers and started for his hOme which be was |
barely able to reach, and soon afterwards |
died.
Doctors Redfeld and Barnes, who had
been summoned by Mrs. Moore to attend |
her SON. in order to relieve the mothers
fears that the young man had been pOis-
Oned, each swallowed some of the bitters
and soon afterwards started for their
homes, but had proceeded a short distance
only when Barnes was taken violently i'll,
ana was compelled to dismOunt from his
horse. He was just able to drag himself
home and died during the night.
DR.. Redfeld, feeling premOnitary symp-
toms of poisoning spurred bis horse to his
utmost speed, and just reached his house |
and fell insensible at the door. He was
carried inside, and died within fifteen MIN
utes The matter had not been investigated
when the letter was written, therefore it is
not known whether the doctor who pre-
pared the bitters made a mistake, or
whether the druggist from whom he pur-
chased the medicine committed the blunder.
