NEAR AFATALITY
In PATENT DOPE
Rock Island Woman Has Sorry
Experience in Treatment
of a Cold.
sWOONS AT HER OWN DOOR
Physician. Happening by, Saves Her
Life, She Having Lapsed Into
Inconsistencies.

Promiscuous use of drugs and pat
ent medicines has been the subject
of more or less magazine and press
criticism and advice against their in
discriminate use has been very gen.
eral. However. this advice is little
needed or thought justifiable until
some example in ones own eXper-
fence forces the wisdom of the warn
ing upon one.
There is at least one woman in the
city who knows the wisdom of the
advice. A few days ago she was
suffering more or less with a bad
cold and hoarseness and on the even
ing of the day on which this incl
dent occurred was to speak at a pub
lie gathering. The hoarseness was
annoying and remembering reading
an advertisement of mixture of
pine tar and honey and other drugs
being a sure cure for the affection
with which she was suffering, she
procured a bottle and began to take
its contents according to directions
"a teaspoonful every half hour. AZ
ter taking four teaspoonfuls she felt
a peculiar sensation and a faint feel
ing oppressed her. She FASTENED to
the door to get a breath of fresh air
and Just as she reached the door,
swooned and fell. A physician hap
pened TO be passing, and seeing her
fall. rushed to her aid and after
some effort restored her to conscious
ness, although she was sick and
faint for some days following.
CLOSE CALL WITH DEATH.
The contents OF the bottle were
then examined and they were found
to consist of large quantities of
chloroform and a few other drugs
in smaller quantities. The physician
expressed his belief that the woman
would have met certain death had
she taken another teaspoonful and
as il was. she had & narrow escape
from death. It seems that certain
patent medicines come to the whole
saler in small kegs and the medicine
is then put in bottles for retail use.
The patent medicine in question
came in this way. the chloroform ris-
ing to the top of the keg, and it was
drained of almost in its pure form,
the victim of the accident probably
getting one of the first bottles from
the key.
