Mr.. ]. Z. Taylor, President of the
Taylor Mfg Co., Westminster, Md,
on last Thursday was poisoned from
eating some country cheese, and but
for the immediate attention of a skilled
physician it would have proved fatal.
Dir. Taylor was travelling on business
in Randolph county, and called at Sandy
Greek to get a lunch, which consisted of
cheese and crackers he ate but very
little Of the cheese and in about an hour
and a half after he had finished his lunch
he was taken violently sick and com
menced to vomit, throwing up i guam
tity of blood, until a physician arrived,
who gave him opiates and thereby re-
lieved him.
The driver ate some of the same
cheese and was affected in the same way
and has not entirely recovered yet.
Two boys also ate of the cheese the
day before, and We understand they
were affected very much the same as
Mr.. Taylor.
One OF them was blind for three days
from the effect of the poison.-Putriot.
