UNCONSCIOUS
FROM ILLNESS

DR.. Lucy IL. A. Brown, well-kno~n
ply sican. was found unconscious In her
apartments at 6S Jackson street just ns-
fore 10 o'clock yesterday morning. IL rs
evident that DR.. Brown had suffered
from an acute attack OF kidney trouble
and while heating some water In the
bath room she had been rendered uncon-
scious. Her condition was discovered by
the odor OF gas and others traced IL 10
her rooms. but being unable TO enter Pa

moned. who forced a door and found tn'
physician on the floor. In the kitchen :,
was found that some gas was escaping
from the burner under a water boiler
which had apparently been partly tura-
ed on by Mrs Brown, who was about
to heat the water when she was finaliy
overcome by illness. The amount OF gas
escaping was. however. insignificant.
which. together with the fact that be-
tween the bath room and the Kitchen
there are two intervening rooms, makes
the idea that Mrs Brown was overcome
by the gas impossible To entertain
DR. OLeary was the first physician 10
reach the sick woman. and he az once
stated that her condition was very So
r-ious. the chances OF recovery being
slight Dr. Finch, who arrived later and
took charge OF the case. said this morn
ing that DR. Brown had recovered con-
sciousness There is evidently but little
hope for her recovery.
