The most lamentable accident that
ever hefell any citizen OF Abbeviiie oc-
Cured last Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
DR.. Lambert J. White, was suffering
from headache, and in order to relieve
1t, undertook to take a dose of bromo
seltZer, one Of tho most harmless Of the
medicines, and by mistake he took u
dose Of corrosive sublimate, one Of the
most violent poisons. He Immediately
drug store OF Mr.. p. b. Speed, where
Dr.. John Lyon immediately gave him
an emetic, while physicians, were hur-
riedly sent for. Everything possible
was done to save the life of the patient,
but when it was known that he had
taken two hundred grains of the poison
there was very little hope, though ut 6
o'clock he rallied for while and for
short time he seemed better.
At eight o'clock the conditions were
more alarming, and the dreaded effects
Of the drug were more apparent. At
nine o'clock oil hope was gone, and at
half past ten o'clock he passed away.
From the moment he swallowed the
poison it was with difficulty that he
spoke. When he arrived at the drug
store he could scarcely inform the drug
gist of his ailment. And up to the
end it was painful for him to speak.
He appeared to be conscious to the last
| and from the first realized his critical
condition. Tho effect of the poison
was TO interfere with his breathing.
