Took Aconite By Mistake

Mrs. Arthur J. Fullington, of Ypsitanti township, narrowly escaped death Wednesday morning. She took a large dose of aconite by mistake and was saved only through the prompt arrival of Dr. G.M. Hull and the resort to heroic measures.

Mrs. Fullington recently had a prescription filled, and the bottle stood on a shelf near the aconite, with the result that when she picked up what she supposed to be the medicine bottle shortly after breakfast and poured out and swallowed a considerable quantity of its contents, she had through carelessness taken the poison. The hired man happened to come into the house just after she had discovered her mistake, and he lost no time in summoning the husband, who dispatched the hired man for a physician and hastily tried home antidotes. Albert Graves, the owner of the farm on which the Fullingtons live, met the man just outside the house and went with him to a neighbor's house, where Dr. Hull was called up by telephone.

The Doctor arrived on the scene promptly. and by the most vigorous measures was able to successfully fight off the drug's influence.
