scious in Bath, Thinks Druggist
Gave Wrong Medicine.
Miss Elsie Rail, recovering in Grady
Hospital Wednesday from a myste
rious Illness, denied emphatically that
an attempt at suicide had been re
sponsible for her being found uncon
scious in the bathroom at her room
ing place, No. 41 East Cain street,
shortly after midnight.

a stenographer for a local newspaper.

ing ill during the day and that before
retiring had purchased some calomei
at a Peachtree pharmacy and taken
five grains of it. The next thing she
knew, she declared, she was in Grady
J fospital.
Miss Ball had complained of not
feeling well to others In the house.
When she had remained iri the bath
room for an exceptionally long time
they became alarmed. There was no
response to their calls and they final

while baffled as lo the cause of her
condition, were able after some time
to bring her hack to consciousness.

ing suicide,” she exclaimed when seen

kill myself for. I 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.’”
