nha o,Rrian Po1soninr Case

It should be stated in justice to Dr. ca ks that he did not prescribe anything for the O'Brien child, who was poisoned Tuesday night from 8 dose of ten drops of Iaudsnum administered by mistake for paregoric. He merely told the parents, when he called in re- sponse to their sumnions in the afternoon, that one drop of paregoric would be enough to soothe the child, and in a very extreme case ten drops might be given. The parents of the child, seeing it in great distress, gave it ten drops of what they supposed was paregoric. It is not likely that criminal suit will be brought against Mir. Hunter, the druggist, although it was said yesterday that MT. O'Brien Would institute a civil suit against him. State Attorney Doolittle ad- vised Assistant Prosecutor Daley that Mr. Hunter should be prosecuted criminally in case no civil action was brought. MT. Hunter has stood the test of seventeen years experience in the drug business and feels very badly that his act of carelessness should have resulted so sadly. He is at a loss to &C., count for his mistake. It seems as if there was also some carelessness on the part of the parents as the two drugs are very unlike in both cotor and odor.
