Hugh Myers, an old watchman In
South Washington, who recently submit.
ted to an inje ,tion OF the Brown-sequard
mixture, dii d tonight His friends be-
lieve that his death is due to the expert
ment with the mixture, but DIR. Crook,
who attended, states that his death was
caused by typhoid fever, while Hazen,
who was called in shortly before the
mans death, is uncertain regarding the
primary cause. The mixture was admin.
istered to Myers at his own request by
Drs. Crook and Leach several weeks ago.
Myers was at that time suffering from q
slight ailment, but Immediately after the
mixture had been given him he became
alarminRly i'll, and continued to grow
worse until the time OF his death. He
attributed ~ Illness to the elixir, aud
the members of his family are satisfied
that his death was due TO 1t alone. DR..
Crook is anxious that the authorities
should investigate the cause, but Myers
relatives object to the holding OF post
mortem examination. The coroner hat
not decided whether or not he will take
any action In the matter.
