He Wasn't Drunk.

From the Dayton News
The other day a man staggered along
the street In a neighboring city, and
finally dropped to the sidewalk in an un-
conscious condition. A policeman was
called and he was loaded into a patrol
wagon and sent to the police station.
There he was placed in a cell. after q
casual examination. and died in a few
hours. He was written down" on the
tablet as a plain drunk" because the
odor of alcohol was detected when he
was being examined. But as a matter Of
fact the man was not drunk, had not
been drinking and the odor which was
detected was that of a medicine which
the unfortunate fellow had been taking.
There would be no occasion for telling
the story here were 1t not for the fact
that it is not an isolated case. Such
things happen every day in some of our
cities. II is a common occurrence. and
is due to the fact that there are fire.
