Be1is1e succeeded in counteracting the effects of the acid, though the youngster suffered exten- sive burns that will cause him pain for weeks.
 Playing about the house yesterday he climbed to- a kitchen shelf where a bottle of acid stood, apparently out of harms way. ChiId-like, the boy yanked out the cork, sniffed at the contents and placed the bottle to his lips just as his mother entered the room. He had swallowed a part of the contents before she could dash the bottle out of his hand.
