ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE.

At an early hour this morning an ARGUS
scribe was made acquainted with the start
ling tale that shortly before 10 o'clock last
by means of deadly drug, had been made
by a well-known resident of this city.
What gave weight to the story was the fact
that DR.. Carl Bernhard had been sum-
moned in haste, had administered the usual
emetics and that these. proving powerless
as antidotes there was hurrying to and
fro in quest of
A STOMACH PUMP.
Several physicians. each of whom was
known to possess such an article, were
telephoned to but in each case the I'M
satisfactory response was made mot in"
With this as a foundation the writer first
called on DR.. Bernhardi, who said that he
had left his patient at 2 O'Clock this msrn-
ing in somewhat critical condition, but
that he was about ready to pay another
visit, and had no doubt that complete re
covery would result.
Subsequently Mr.. Ernst Woltman, the
husband of
THE PATIENT IL QUESTION,
was interviewed with the following result:
Mr.. and Mrs Woltmsn, who are most
worthy people in every way, have lived in
Rock Island about thirty years, are gen
orally known and universally respect
ed. They live, at present,
over the Peoples National Bank.
For some time Mrs Woltman, who is the
mother of twelve children, nine of whom
are living has been subject to severe head
aches, and so distressing had they become
that DR.. Truesdale, prescribed hydrate of
choral, with explicit directions as to its use.
Last evening Mrs. Woltman suffered so
severely that the usual dose, a teaspoonful
we believe, was administered and the pain
was Immediately relieved. Subsequently,
however it returned and she being in a
half conscious state, yet suffering the most
excruciating pain, put the phial to i. her
lips and swallowed a dose great
ly in excess of the one prescribed.
The natural result was that she was soon
in a comatose state from which it was i'm
possible 10 arouse her. DR.. Bernhard was
Immediately sent for and emetics admins
tered but as these failed to have the desired
effect, Mr.. Woltman, naturally in very
anxious, not to say excited frame of mind
hurried out after stomach pump.
Out of the foregoing arose all manner of
rumors and gossip but the facts are as
stated above and are published To silence
the tongue of ins'1uation and out of res
pect to the feelings of as estimabe people
as are to be found in Rock Island
