Iowa Falls, Jan. 26.-Prompt medical
aid no doubt saved the life of the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ G. Saw
yer. The little one had been playing
with a companion at the c. S. Brown
home and among other things they
played doctor and nurse.
To make the playing the more real
istic each of the little girls took a
small pill that had been prescribed for
the Brown girls grandfather. A short
time after the Brown girl was seized
with fit of vomiting and had evident
ly received an overdose of the poison.
About the same time, the Sawyer girl
showed unmistakable signs of NOR
phine poisoning and a physician was
quickly summoned and, administering
medicines to counterfeit the poison,
soon had the little one out of danger,
but it was a close call.
Both girls denied taking anything at
first, but finally admitted that each had
taken one pill, which proved to con-
tain liberal doses of morphine.
