A Biddeford Sensation.
Special Dispatch to kennebec Journal


BIDDEFoRp. March %.
The daily papers, Friday evening con-
tained charges against DR.. Thivierge to the
effect that his treatment of little girl
caused her death. 1t now appears that the
doctor is entirely irresponsible for the girls
death. The facts of the case are these DIR.
fhivierge was called Tuesday morn
ing to attend girl by the name
of Poulin and in company with Father
Bergeron he Immediately answered the sum
.nons. lie found the girl in commissions.
He pronounced the case, a hysteric-epileptic
ht. He prescribed as medicine spirits ammo
MIA. aromatic, elixir of bromide of potassium
and Iloffmans anodyne, all of which were to
be taken in water, according to directions.
rhe girl refused to take the medicine and
external treatment was resorted to, such as
mustard to the feet and cold baths
to the head. The girls condition
improved. The doctor left the medicine and
directed it to be administered when the pa
tient was able to take it. He called shortly
after and found her in still better condition
aud yet said that he feared inflammation Of
the brain. Another physician was summoned
after the doctors second call, but the girl
died as her mother affirmed, from natural
causes, and not from the medicine left by
DIR. Thivierge, as the papers said. These
are the facts as obtained from the doctor,
and from an affidavit sworn to by the girls
mother. They are probably the facts of the
case
