Porter Swallowed 62 Grains of Quinine. HE IS BROUGHT TO ALBANY FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT Child's Eyes Are Yielding to Treatment and Sight May Be Restored Soon. Several hundred delegates from all pans of the state will come to Al bany in January to attend the annual I convention of the Oregon Retail ' Merchants Association, which will be in session here for a week, and local grocerymen .are now beginning to make their plans for the enter tainment of the visitors. The state convention was held last February at Medford at which time it was .voted to meet this year at Al bany. The state association is one of the strongest on the coast and at the last convention many important mat ters relative to the retail grocery busi ness were discussed and several reso lutions passed which were of benefit to the merchants. The coming convention at this city promises to be of even greater im portance and many new problems now confronting the merchants will be discussed and acted upon. Albany merchants are planning to meet soon and perfect the local association so that everything will be in readiness for the reception of the visiting groc ers and their ladies during the month of January. After swallowing sixty-two grains of quinine, the two and one-half year old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Porter of Lebanon was unconscious for nine hours and rendered stone blind, the death of the child only being averted by the prompt action of the physician who was hurriedly summoned to the Porter home. The child was brought to Albany last night and placed in charge of Dr. Stark of this city and from all indi cations the child is improving under the treatment. Mrs. Porter was being treated by a Lebanon physician for neuralgia and left some two-grain quinine pills on the dresser. These pills were later discovered by the child who swal lowed the sixty-two grains and keeled over on the floor from the effects of the drug. The family physician was hurriedly summoned and the prompt action of the doctor was all that sav ed the child's life. While the child has been stone blind since Saturday, Dr. Stark said this afternoon that the eyes were slowly yielding to the treatment and that he fully expected the eyesight to be restored in a few days.
