ton caused by throat disease
with which he has been suffering for eome
months past. He finally arose and without
lighting ne gas secured bottle of medi-
cine which stood upon dresser near the
bed. He took the usual dose and In
moment discovered that he had
made some horrible mistake. He
was seized with dizziness. Blind
ness overcame him. and he fell to the floor,
exclaimins to his startled family, who had
been aroused by his groans, that hs had
made mistake in the medicines.
A light revealed the fact that
Mr.. Chaplin had drank large
dose of preparation recently pnt
up for him by a Chicago physician and in
tended TO be used as an inhaler. Physicians
were hastily summoned and found the
patient delirious and suffering terrible
agony. Emeties aud the stomach pump
were resorted TO with the effect of reliev-
ing the sufferer To some extent. but he is
still delirious and suffering considerable
pain. His physicians say the critical
point Is now passed, however.
