Chicago, Oct. 11. An interesting
nipllatlon showing the number of
rsons killed or Injured In the Unl
et States In a year from accidents
suiting from the use Of misuse of
edicines and poisons, has Just been
tied from the offices of the press
mmitee qf the Proprietary associa-
n. The figures were " compiled
m newspaper accounts of accl-
ts of this nature in all parts of
e country the reports being fur-
shed by six of ihe largest press
Ipplng bureaus In the United
ates.
During the twelve months, from
uly 1, 1905 to July 1, 19QG, 204S
cldents wesulted from ,tho misuse
f medicines and poisons, and of
lese accidents S92 were fatal. Car-
ollc aclde figured In 45G cases, of
hlch 18G were fatal; and holds the
disputed first place among drugs
nd poisons as an agent of Injury
ml death. It was Involved in 22. 2G
er cent of all the cases recorded,
nd 20. 85 per cent of all deaths.
t was the cause of ton times ns
mny accidents nnd nine times ns
lany deaths as all of the hundreds
bf patent medicines.'
Of the 20 IS accidents. 11G2, or
ifi.92 per cent of the whole number,
bsulted In carelessness In handling
poisons of vnrlous kinds, ranging
troni carbolic acid to shoe polish.
the remaining SS6 accidents result
id from the misuse of medicines,
Ind of these 49 cases were attributed
'patent medicines," the other S37
lelng due to medicines usually pro-
rrlbed by physlelHiis. These medl-
pnes are chargeable with 40. S7 per
unt of all the accidents, and 52.47
Ier cent of all the deaths, while to
patent medicines" are attributed
.39 per cent of all of the accidents,
nd 2.35 per cent of all of the fa-
illtles.
The newspaper clippings on which
lis tabulation (which is tho first of
s kind covering a full year) was
ased, show a great variety of accl
onts resulting from carelessness In
lie handling and use of poisons nnd
medicines. As already stated enr-
lollc acid leads with 4SG accidents
Ind 1SG deaths; morphine Is charged
Hth 193 cases and 143 deaths:
itidnnum with 135 cases and 5G
leaths; Btrychnlne tablets with 95
ases nnd G5 deaths; wood alcohol
Ith SI cases and 70 deaths; arsenic
Ith GO enses and 27 deaths; chloro-
Iirin with 51 cases and 30 deaths,
ad all patent medicines with 49
iscs and 21 deaths.
In no single case does It appear
hat medicines of nny kind caused
Ieath or Injury when taken In tho
rescribed doses. It was only when
irectlons were disregarded, or the
ledlclno left within the reach of
hlldren, or used by mistake that
ecldent resulted. Medicines and
olsons left within tho reach of chil
dren were tho cause of a large pro-
'ortlon of tho accidents, some of
"hlch were chargeable to articles of
pally household use. For Instance,
accidents and 7 deaths wore
taused by fly poison being left where
Wilos could get it; 14 children
Brank gasolene, and In 10 cases chil
dren swallowed turpentine. Wash
ing powder, bluing, washing soda,
penzlne. soldering acid, stove polish,
shoe polish, prlnters,"ink, ant poison,
I'ollshlng fluid, picture gilding, and
piosquito poison all contributed their
uota of victims.

I One baby was killed by putting In
its mouth n poultice that had fallen
from a boll on Its father's neck, and
another, sitting on its father's lap
found in his pockets some strychnine
tablets which it ate. while the father
dozed, with fatal results. Lye In
some form was responsible for 57
accidents, mostly to children, and
was fatal In 16 cases. One promi
nent physician went to his medicine
chest In the night to get a cough
syrup for himself, and took carbolic
acid Instead; another phyisclan took
three times the regular dose of
acetanillde; nn undertaker's assist
ant drank embalming fluid in mis
take for whiskey, and nn editor,
looking for the same thing, got n
dose of mosquito poison instead.
Not a few persons looking for whis
key In the dark got the wrong
poison.
Four luckless Individuals who
drank bay rum as a beverage, lost
their lives, nine persons were killed
by drinking Florida water, 24 chil
dren were made, sick by eating cas
tor beans, the misuse of ordinary
flavoring extracts Injured eight per
sons, nnd several persons were In
jured because a cook mistook arsenic
for baking powder. One man drank
a preparation of borax intended for
spraying fruit trees, and 37 persons
took corrosive sublimate by mistake.
These cases are fairly representative
of the entire number.
Tho tabulation includes several
cases where yie wrong medicine was
administered by trained nurses, and
a few cases where medicines Intend
ed for inhalation was swallowed, and
In practically every case the careless
ness of some one was responsible for
the Injury done. A strong move
ment has been started to secure pub
licity for tho Information Included
in tho tnbluation, in tho hope that
by having their attention .called to
the great number of accidents' that
occur annually, parents will exer
cise greater care In keeping medi
cine and poisons out of the reach of
children and also in taking medi
cines themselves, or administering It
to others without being absolutely
sure that they have tho right medi
cine and are taking, or administer
ing, the correct quantity.
Tho Potato Crop Outlook.
New York Oct. 11. Now that the
potato crop has almost matured, n
reliable estimate can be made as to
tho yield compnred with previous
years. Thoush tho month of August
brought no Improvement In tho pros
pect of the crop genernlly It Is fort
unate that blight Is not genernl,
though rather serious in Michigan,
Colorado, Ohio. New York and the
New England stntes. Wisconsin nnd
Minnesota have also been visited by
the disease but not to such an extent
ns the states mentioned. In the
heavy potato growing districts of the
north western states conditions are
quite Irregular. In Wood county,
Wis., early tubers are yielding In
differently nnd thero are fair pros
pects for the late crop and on the
whole the acreage and yield this sea
son will be below -the last. In Fond
du Lao and Wnshura growers are
estimating that the yield will fall
short of last year by 20 per cent but
in Sauk county the prospects nro
quite encouraging. In a few sections
of Minnesota less than average yield
Is promised but elsewhere In that
state the situation. Is fairly good.
Accounts from tho territory east of
Ohio show variable conditions yet
fairly promising. In .New York where
blight is not prevalent potatoes are
developing reasonably well while the
Southern New England crop Is Indlff
ferent. This statement also applies
to New Hampshire and . Vermont,
but Aroostook county, Me., a very
Important producer Is bringing an In
creased acreage to good maturity.
In connection with probabilities of
potato imports Into the United States
during the coming winter and spring.
The recent British , government re
port on tho crop thero may have
some weight. It gtatesthat the pros
pect for tho 1906 United Kingdom
potato yield Is somewhat above the
average. . '

Intcrrstiiig Masonic Relics.
The Oregon City Enterprise tolls
nn Interesting story of the recent re
moval temporarily of the records
from the cornerstone of the 'Masonic
temple In that city. Tho putting In
of a new front In the building made
It necessary to disturb tho corner
stone. The records were plnced In
the bank valut for safe keeping while

of the papers In their 20 yenrs' burial
had become somewhat discolored as
water had gained entranco to them.
