WRONG MEDICINE
BELIEVED FATAL
Probe Started in Death of
Woman at Georgetown
Hospital.

Inviting substitution of the wrong
medicine for an injection is believed
TO have caused the death of Mrs. Julia
Louise Eaton. 80, of Arlington, Va, at
Georgetown Hospital yesterday, with
the result that Coroner hewitt ordered
an autopsy and an inquest to fix legal
responsibility in the case.
The autopsy last night by DIR. Her.

vealed that the death was caused by
administration of a solution of sodium
hydroxide.
The injection was made prior to an
E-ray examination 10 days ago. While
the physician in charge asked Ioda y
to be excused from comment on the
case. it is reported reliably that testi-
mony at the inquest will show that he
called for an injection of sodium iodine
before the examination. The injection
WAS supposed to be sodium iodine
until it was discovered that the wrong
medicine had been made.
Medicine Held Fatal.
The cause is believed to have been
substitution of a solution of the
hydroxtde instead OF the iodine The
former has a decidedly different eff

tion of the medicinal agent caused
death, according to the finding of the
autopsy. 1t produced hemorrha ges
