A Narrow Escape.
The six-year-old son of b. M. Gorham
OF Gold Hill. New, is lying very i'll at DR..
Woolsey's hospital. The boy had a mar
row escape, and the case is somewhat
strange. 1t appears that father and son
were on their way to San Francisco. and
the little fellow was taken with a severe
cold Tuesday night He attracted the at
teDtion of q lady on the train, who sympa-
thiZed with him and gave him with his
fathers consent few of Humphreys
aconite pellets which she had with her.
Only four or five pills were given alto
gether. but in a few hours the child was
taken violently i'll and STEADILY grew
worse. The passengers arrived at the
conclusion that he was suffering with
aconite poisoning, and word was tele-
grabbed to DIR. Hickey at Port Costa yes
terday morning, who came on board and
administered antidotes. At Sixteenth
street the boy was taken to the hospital.
and DR.. Wo0lsey says there is no doubt
that it is case of aconite poisoning. At
one time the boys temperature was as
low as 941a degrees, which is two degrees
below what generally produces death.
1t seems as If there must have been some
mistake in the compromising of the drug.
because druggists say there is not enough
aconite in a whole bottle of that medicine
to produce such disastrous results when it
is accurately compounded.
The boy had a narrow escape, but is now
thought to be out of danger.
