the poison plant to grow alongside

confOunded so much that every doc

The other case of poisoning was
that of a woman who bought a box
Of sardines very cheap from a push
cart peddler in Hester street, and
with her two little girls, aged eight
and three, made a lunch off them.
All three became very sick. A little
girl in passing heard them groaning,
and entering the room found them
lying helpless on the floor. The
child told the housekeeper and the
latter sent for an ambulance which
took the sufferers to the hospital.
Under treatment the condition Of
the patients rapidly improved. The
sickness is supposed to have been
caused by tin or ptomaines, as the
sardines were in bad condition.
