GIN SEASICK CURE
KILLS 5 CHILDREN

NEW YORK. June 15.-Gin distilled
from potatoes, a standard Portuguese
remedy for seasickness. caused the death
Of three little children last Sunday IN
the steerage OF the White Star liner
Cretic, which reached port from Naples.
The children were buried AT sea Monday
evening, and the mothers were kept in
close confinement all the way to New
York. 10 prevent them from jumping

Rough weather was encountered, and
all the Portuguese were seasick. They
had provided themselves with liberal
supplies of potato gin before sailing. and
this WAS passed around and freely drunk
Potato gin is as deadly as wood alcoh u.
The children were given big doses,
with the natural effect that in a short
time they went into commissions.
The two doctors worked hard over the
stricken children. but to no avail. Other
children. Older than the three who died,
were also treated, and some Of the adult
immigrants were also in a bad way.
