TOOK OVERDOSE OF HEADACHE POWDER

Corwin Huston Found in a Comatose State

Drs. Darling and Breakey are Summoned - Huston Now Out of Danger

An overdose of headache medicine which was taken Monday night by Corwin Huston nearly caused the young man's death.

Mr. Huston, who lives at 331 Packard street, is afflicted with bad headaches and last evening he was suffering from an unusually severe one. He took a headache powder, seeking to relieve the terrible pain, and as it did not bring prompt relief he took another and larger dose.

Tuesday morning when the family sought to waken him at his usual hour for rising they found him lying in a comatose state and all of their efforts to rouse him were unavailing. Drs. Darling and Breakey were hurriedly summoned and after strenuous efforts on their part and those of Mr. Huston's friends they succeeded in rousing him partially.

Friends of the unfortunate man walked him about all of the morning in order to keep him awake. He is now out of danger, although he is still a very sick man.

Mr. Huston is a brother of Roscoe Huston, business manager of the Daily-News.
