MAY 20, 1913. 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE r ^° Unknown Nurse Suggests Rem edy That Gives Hop.e for Rich Banker's Recovery. MACON, GA., May 20.—After hav ing made all, even minute, prepara tions to die, under the belief that his ^ath was inevitaltle and a matter of <.nly a few days, R. Sanders Walker, Jr., the banker and real estate oper ator, is now given the hope that pos sibly he will survive the accidental taking of a bichloride of mercury tab let by mistake for a headache pill. From Thursday until Monday Mr. Walker’s kidneys were paralyzed, but then there was a slight manifesta tion, sufficient' to justify the attend ing physicians in holding out a little encouragement to the man who for five days has regarded himself as on the very brink of the grave. Two • physicians have been at Mr. Walker’s bedside almost from the minute when the terrible pains in his stomach showed that he had taken poison in stead of an aspirin tablet, and they have employed heroic remedies. From all parts of the United States have come about 4ft telegrams from persons who were similarly poisoned or from doctors and nurses suggesting meth ods of treatment. Nurse Suggests Remedy, One such message came from a young woman nurses at Johns Hop kins Hospital, suggesting that a rem edy of ax seed and olive oil might save the fast ebbing life of the dying man, as it had her own when she had her own when she had been in a sim ilar condition. If he lives, Walker will owe his life to this young wom an, of whose existence he was not even aware—a person whom he would not know were he to meet her face to face. This remedy has been applied and has given Walker a fighting chance for life. Euremic poinsoning had al ready set in when the doctors decided to adopt the suggestion of the young woman, and unless relief had been immediate Walker would soon have succumbed. Visitors Now Excluded. All persons, except his wife, doc tors and nurses, are now kept from Mr. Walker. The physicians say that the announcement to him that he might survive, after he had gone through the ordeal of preparing for death, brought on a nervous attack and intensified his weakness. It was believed necessary, as well as ethical, however, to tell the stricken man that he had a chance to live. B. tv Walker. Sr., of Monroe, the father; Cliff M. W T alker. Solicitor General of the Western Circuit, who iq a brother, and other relatives are at the residence. Mrs. Walker is making a fight that is the wonder of her friends. In her husband's company she has been ever brave and cheerful. Not once has she Presented anything hut a courageous front. Walker’s Nerve Unbroken. Walker’s first thought when told by the doctors that death was sure to re sult from his mistaken dose, was of his business; his second, of his friends. He immediately sent for his business associates, and in a short while had sriven definite intructions concerning the final disposition of all his affairs. Following the winding up of his business, he called in his friends, an nounced hs doom and gave them one <nd all a‘ cheerful farewell. His cool nerve during the strain of ie last three days has been the cause cf comment upon the days when, as ft *tar athlete for the University of Georgia, he time and again demon strated the fact that he was possess, d •'f an indomitable spirit that held him ip when his teammates were break- ng in their support. Still on Brink of Eternity. The friends who knew him a few ays ago as the picture of health and a perfect specimen of manhood can hardly realize that following his trag ic error In taking bichloride of mer- f, ury tablets instead of the headache medicine, he has been doomed to eath. and that, although hope is now ^pressed for his recovery, he is ev. n et standing upon the brink of eter nity.

Carson, the echairman. and then fol low the same procedure with the first minority report signed by E. H. Per kins, an elder of Baltimore, and Dr. John R.
