physician '-was . summoned. Just
as soon as a hurried examination
was made, the fact was made
known to Mrs. Weddington that
her husband was suffering from
poison and that his condition Was
very serious. -
Heroic efforts .were resorted to
and after hours of hard, work, the
poison was extracted and the
man's life, was saved.
Today, , Mr. -Weddington was
still in a serious condition but the
attending physician thinks his
patient will recover.. .
Friends of Mr. Weddington to-
.day say that they firmly believe
his , mind ' is unbalanced.
