A STRANGE CASE OF POISONING "A let
ter from Hermitage, No., dated June 9th,
gives an account Of p terrible case Of poison
ing which occurred In the town of Wheat
land on Wednesday last. Il appears that a
young man named Moore applied to the
county physician for prescription for some
medicine to cnre the ague, and as he OBJ
jected to taking quinine, the doctor prescrib-
ed dose of btters compounded of Peruvian
bark, dogwood and whisky. The young man
took dose Of the bittcrs and started for his
home, which he was barely able to reach,
and soon afterwards died. Doctors Red6eld
and Barnes, who had been summoned by
Mrs. Moore to attend to her son, in order to
relieve the mothers fears that the young
man had been poisoned, each swallowed
some of the bittcrs, and soon afterwards
started for their homes, but had proceeded
{ short distance only when DR.. Barnes was
taken violently ILL., and was compelled to dis :
mount from his horse. He was just able 10
drag himself home, and died during tt c
night. DR.. Redfeld, feeling premonitory
symptoms of poisoning, spurred his horse to
his utmost speed, and just reached his homv
when he fc insensible at the door, He was
carried inside, aud died within fifteen MN
utcs. The matter had not been Investigated
when the letter was written, therefore it is
not known whether the doctor who prepared
the bltters made mistake, or whether the
| druggist from whom he purchased the medi-
| cine committed blundcr.
