OVERDOSE OF DRUG KILLS CHILD
Death of Little Daughter of Phil Kaiser, of Bruce Township Last Friday
The home of Mr and Mrs Phil Kaiser, in Bruce Township, are depressed by the cloud of sorrow and mourning as the result of the tragic death of their three and a half year old daughter last Friday night.
The little one by accident drank some medicine containing opium, taking enough of the sleeping potion to cause her death a few hours later in spite of the efforts of a physician to save her. As soon as the mother discovered what the child had done, she at once summoned a doctor, but it was about an hour afterwards before he could reach the side of the sufferer. Mrs. Kaiser had been giving the medicine to one of the other children, who was sick. She set the bottle near the bed, not thinking that the little girl would molest it, but when the mother was temporarily away the little one got ahold of the bottle, drinking enough of the contents to cause her death.
The funeral was held Sunday and it was a sorrow occasion for all. Especially was the mother grief stricken, feeling that somehow she should have been more careful in keeping the medicine from the child's reach.

A very sad and pathetic affair occurred in this neighborhood Friday last at the home of Mr and Mrs Philip Kaiser. Their two year old daughter got a hold of a bottle of medicine containing a small per cent of opium, prepared to give to children for diarrhea, five drops being the dose for a child of two years. The bottle contained about two ounces of the medicine and the child drank all of it. Dr. Chisholm was called and everything was done to save it but of no avail. The child was buried Sabbath morning at 11 o'clock, at Fairview cemetery, Rev. Smick of the U. B. Church officiating.
