CHILD DRANK ACID
Little Mabel Reynolds Mar
rowly Escaped Death
FROM MURtATIC POISONING
Was Unconscious for Three
Hours Sunday Evening.

While both her parents were out OF
the house about o'clock Sunday evening
little Mabel Reynolds. the 2-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs A E Reynolds.
living at al South Main street secured
a bottle of muriatic acid in which tin
was dissolved and swallowed the contents
When her mother returned to the house
few moments afterward the child was
in an unconscious state t. ON which she
could not be, aroused for three hours.
The fact that she is alive is due to the
prompt action OF the mother in giving
the little girl all the sweet milk she could
drink Immediately after she discovered
her condition and the cause for it.
Mr.. Reynolds left the home yesterday
afternoon 10 go TO the river which is a
short distance from the house and when
he did not return Mrs. Reynolds left the
house for short time to look for him.
When she left the child was sitting on
the floor amusing Itself After she had
gone the child spied bottle of muriatic
acid which was sitting on low shelf and
in some manner secured it, The parents
do not remember how much il contained
but when the mother returned the empty
bottle was near the child who was in
commissions on the floor. She forced the
child to drink sweet mix and the physi-
clan who arrived at six 0 clock states
that it was due to her presence of mind
that the child did not die immediat- Iy.
When the physician arrived the child
was almost past relief. He states that
she was deathly pale almost pulse.ess
and that her eyes were set like dead and
that il was only after two hours of hard
work that he brought her out of the
stupOr which had fallen over her He
administered antidotes but they failed
to become effective for several hours.
At O'Clock the child was out of i'm
mediate danger and has been improving
since. The attending physician stated
last night that unless the burns in the
stomach and intestines proved deep
enough TO cause structure he entertained
hopes of the child's recovery. The child
was badly burned from the lips TO the
intestines and it is impossible for her to
take any solid food. The muriatic acid
combined with tin forms a chloride of
tin which is among the most powerful
