| Mr. Emery Lowe's two youngest girls, Effie and Pearl, are suffering
from the effects of poison, caused by eating seeds of jimson (stramonium)
weed. The facts became known to the family last Saturday at the supper
hour, where the doctor was at once called. He applied the force
pump and about 200 seeds were taken from each one of the children's stomachs.
If the facts had not been known at once the little ones would have been
dead before the next morning. It seems that the children opened the
pods and ate the seeds, not knowing they were poison. The physicians
who attended the patients, and those who assisted them, labored with the
children all night, and the happy result is, their lives will be saved. |
