POISONING CURED By pLEED1NG.

Man Rescued from Apparent Death
by . Novel Experiment.
Philadelphia Times: with his respira-
ton but Ave in five minutes, we saved
him.
The speaker was DR.. Albert D.. Black
burn. chief of the medical staff at the
Presbyterian hospital. The man referred
to had been brought there by the patrol
from the effects of a quantity Of lauda-
mum which he had swallowed with sui
cidal intent, but who now thanks to the
sudden thought. or, more likely, the in
spiration, which seized DR.. Blackburn,
when sill tie usual methods were failing
to restore consciousness and death seemed
but a moment to linger, is mighty glad
that the breath Of life still fingers in his
breast.
"Fcc hours we worked with him. con-
tinusd tae doctor. 1--WE applied the stom-
C r1.snr, but the blood had absorbed
the poison. We tried other methods. We
worked ~assiduously, almost frantically.
Reluctantly we were forced to acknowl-
edge that we could get no results, for
the patient sank lower and lower. We
wsre .at!our wits end. Suddenly this line
of thought struck me: That mans res
piration is but five in five minutes; he Is
practically dead. h stomach pump will
do no good, for the blood has absorbed
thS poison and is pregnant with it. The
only way to get it out of the system is
to bleed him. to deprive him of the very
essence of life. in order to give him life!
Then. I thought, blood is largely a saline
solution; we can prepare a like solution,
with the proportions the same, and in
ject this into the body. to take the place
of the poison-filled blood. This body will
do the rest; it will assimilate the solution
4nd make it blood.
1.-THE chance was a desperate one but
the circumstances called for it. So we
bled the man. and the two pints which
we let out were as black as ink, so preg-
n with the poison was it. Quickly we
injected an equal amount of the saline
solution; then with our anxiety ae a high
tension we stood around to watch and
await results. Once we thought we de-
tected a slight Increase Of respiration,
but we dare not trust too much. A few
n later we were sure of 1t. Slowly
the respiration began to rise, and slowly
but surely the organs began once more
to resume their functions. Still we
watched, fearing a relapse. None came.
Then at last the man was out of danger.
He stayed under our care for a few days,
/, ard when we sent him away he had to-
tally recovered from the effects of the
poison which he had put into his sys-
ten. To-day he is a hale and hearty
man."
1t is highly probable that this method
OF overcoming poison is a novel one. No
one seems to know of a like instance.
At least, several reputable physicians of
this city, when interviewed, said that
no case of a similar nature had ever come
under their notice, nor were they aware
thai such a method had ever been applied
with SUCCESS before. However that may
be. the method is undoubtedly an efica-
cious one and will probably be the means
of saving the lives of many people who
have swallowed deadly poisons accident
ally or with q desire ito take arms
against a sea Of troubles. and. by oppos-
ing, end Them"

1t was very warm at Nantasket, and
there were score of persons in bath

two men with her, but neither offered

TURTLES ON ECHO LAKE.

VeraciOus Story of an Extraordinary
Scene After q New Jersey Storm
Washington Post: There is a lake in
New Jersey, near Westfield. called Echo
lake. For several years past 1t has been
known that the lake contained many
swapping turtles. The snappers made
savage war upon the fish, killing many
of them and crowding others out of the
lake. A few weeks ago there was a severe
stern I'm that section of the country, and
the day after the storm a party from
Westfield went out to the lake to see II
any fish were left in it. or II any had
been stranded in the meadows by the re-
ceding waters. They found rev nsa, out
there were swapping turtles in abundance,
from little bits Of fellows a few inches
in length, up to lusty warriors a foot
across the back, and the jaws OF all OF
them were in thorough working order.
There were turtles everywhere, crawl
ing in all directions. fighting and biting
their way in search Of the lake. which
was their objective point. Everything
living with which they came in contact
was Immediately assaulted. and the tur-
ties came out best in every instance, un:l
man appeared on the scene. Then the
aspect was changed, and although the
NAPIER were worsted, they rendered q
good. or bad. as may Dc. account o.
them, 1t was no trouble for a turtle to
best q healthy hen or cat, or even q dog.
A turtle, who was one Of a party of three
in crossing q yard, caught a chicken by
the leg. His head was cut on and his
mouth pried open, but the chickens les
vas crushed: There were several In
stances of cats coming flying Into the
house dragging a turtle along with them.
The honest watchdog could be seen rae
ing across a field with a small snapper
ornamenting the end of his tail, and q
hog in the attempt to make a meal OF
one that had obtained access to the pig
pen had a portion Of his jaw torn on.
The houses n cellars IN the vicinity
OF the lake were invaded by the turtles.
frightening the women folks, and even
proud man was attacked. Several snap
pers. having crawled into . cellar at
Weingarter's. boarding house. a German
was sent to ct them out. One Of the
turtles tore q hole In the mans boot
iee and the man nearly tainted. The tur-
Tier always gave battle. No thought Of
retreat crossed their minds. Il they have
minds, but they charged on whatever
came in sight. Swapping turtles are born
lighters. A bulldog Il not to be compared
with q snapper. Up around Echo lak
= snapper would clutch q trouser leg ana
tear out q piece Of the material OF which
the trousers were made, or he would
shoot out his neck and fasten his jaws on
Hman's hand and hang on. There was no
moi thing as let 60. Cutting of the
turtles head did not loosen his Jaws.
