PLAYED WITH THE BOTTLE.
A Baby Swallows Laudanum and
Has a Narrow Escape.

The surgeons at the Emergency Hospital
worked hard yesterday afternoon to save the
life Of Lottie McChan, pretty sixteenmonths-
old baby, whose parents reside at No 307
Missouri Avenue. Whle Lottie PLAYING with
her brother, four years of age, she spied a bot
tie nearly full Of laudanm and cried for it, The
little boy handed his sister the dangerous play
thing, and Lottie finally managed to extract
the cork from the bottle.
The attention of Mrs. McChsn was attracted to
her infant and she found that Lottie had deuEed
the front OF her dress with the deadly drug but
she did not at the time believe the child had
swallowed any OF the stuff. The mother resumed
her household duties after taking the bottle from
her child, and about ten minutes later returned
to the room and found the infant in a stupor.
LOttie was hurried to the hospital where it
was found she had drank a large quantity of the
drug, and her life was saved with difficulty.
