Baby Dies From Cascarin Strychnine Poisoning In Grasttinger
A tragic death occurred Sunday in Grasttinger as eight week old Hazel Munson died after her two and a half year old brother Gerald obtained cascarin tablets from a dresser drawer and fed one or more to the baby. The tablets, regular Hinkle formula cascarin, contained trace amounts of strychnine. Dr P J Hession attempted stomach pumping but the child could not be saved. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 2 p.m. at the Munson residence. The Times extends sympathy to the family. The article also notes a separate item on Henry Ford’s new car with a six model lineup, 104 inch wheelbase, prices from 450 to 490 dollars, and features including four wheel brakes and irreversible steering gear. The Ford car aims for 60 mph with a fuel economy of 40 to 46 miles per gallon. The design resembles the Lincoln.
