Dr. Saeeoni reports a very peculiar case to the GRAPHIC, and one that should be warning to others. Ac- cGrdiDg to the Doctor, some few days ago patent medicine man went out tn the Pine Street school and dis tributed number of sample bottles of a "Pine Tar Syrup" among the children. Dr. Saceonis boy was one who received one of these bottles, from which the little fellow, without the knowledge of his parents. drank freely. Night before last the boy be- came sick, for while dangerously so, and it was not until afterwards that the cause was discovered, when it was learned that the boy had drunk nearly Q whole bottle of this medicine. A little negro boy, a son of Dr. Saeconi's cook, also became violently sick, and 1t was he who gave the information about the med icine. Dr. Sacconi thinks that this indiscriminate giving away of patent medicines to children should be stopped, and the Doctor is right. This item is published that other children may profit by the experi- ence of little Sacconi.
