Man Grappled With Poison
John Moore, an employe of the
Falls City Lumber Company, was
a victim of ptomaine poisoning,
Sunday, and for a time death
seemed almost certain. The poi
sonous substance was contained
in mush rooms which the Moore
family ate at dinner, and it is
miraculous that the wife and
child, who also partook of the
dish, were not afflicted.
The poison remained dormant
in the stomach for about an hour
and it was after Moore had gone
to a neighbor's well and drank
freely of water that he became
delirious. Upon the arrival of
Dr. Pfondhoefer life was all but
extinct and the patient did not
regain consciousness until late in
the evening. Falls City News.
