NEEDED A DOCTOR, SURE
ENOIICH

A well-known young physician was
called out Of bed at o'clock yester-
day morning to attend man who was
supposed to be dying. If not dead, in a
bar room at Harrison and Washington
streets. The sick man proved to be
a resident OF South Norfolk, who had
evidently been looking on the wine
when 1t was red: in fact the South
Norfolk citizen had drank himself into
a condition which might we'll have
alarmed his friends. He was almost
pulseless, and the doctor could hardly
tell that his heart beat at all. Drugs
could only be administered by means
of hyperdermic Injections and it re-
quired several to restore signs of life
in the man. He had not recovered con-
seriousness when the physician left
after having worked over him for an
hour. 1t would be interesting to know
the quantity and quality of the pota-
tons of the citizen from South Norfolk
aforesaid.
