five grains of It. The next thing she
knew, she declared, she was In Grady
Hospital.
Miss Ball had complained of not
feeling well to others In the house
When she had remained In the bath
room for an exceptionally long time
they became alarmed. There was no
response to their calls and they final

fore. The young woman was hurried
to Grady Hospital. The physicians,
While baffled as to the cause of her
'condition, were able after some time
to bring her back to consciousness
"That's all nonsense about my try
ing suicide." she exclaimed when seen

kill myself for. 1 don't know what
caused my Illness. It might have
been that a mistake was made in giv
ing me the calomel tablets. They
might have contained some other
drug.”
