had much litigation. in some of which
he was personally interested as par

and a short funeral sermon was de-
livered by a member of the bar in the
presence of few old personal friends.
The lawyer told how the old man had
been abused and maligned, but that, in
fact, he had helped the poor and I'M
fortunate often and was not a bad
man.
On returning from the services an
old lawyer was asked by another law
yer about the services and what was
said The old lawyer replied, For
once old George could not file a de-
murrer or motion to any of the pro-
ceedings which had taken place"
The lawyer who made the inquiry
replied, 'Well, this must be the first

Peculiar Effect Pure AIcohoi Has on
# This irr.tant Poison.
One Of the MOST frequent irritant
poisons used for suicidal purposes is
carbolic acid, and more agonizing
death could not be selected. why
any one should select this poison Il Is
hard to understand unless on account
of the fact that II is cheap and easily
obtainable. This form OF poisoning
can usually be easily recognized by
the odor, which Is we'll known, and
by the white burns or marks on the
lips and mouth, which are typical Of
carbolic acid poisoning.
Send for the nearest physician, and
in the meantime, as carbolic acid kills
quickly, the first aid treatment must
be prompt In order to get results If
possible cause the patient to vomit by
giving an emetic. such as ipecac or
salt and water. a tablespoonful to a
pint of warm winter. This, however,
frequently fails to work on account
Of the irritated condition of the mu-
cous membrane of the stomach. One
of the best chemical antidotes is ep-
som salt in solution. Another good
chemical antidote is alcohol, the only
trouble with this remedy being that
1t cannot be given in a pure form. II
has to be diluted with water and for
that reason loses its efficacy.
