DRANK CYANIDE OF POTASSIUM.

J. H. Lipton Had Used It for Clean-
ing Furniture.

J. H. Lipton, 39 years old, of 1001 Wyandotte street, learned last night that cyanide of potassium is a deadly poison. A mixture containing the poison was fixed up to experiment in taking stains from furniture. Some of the cyanide was left in a glass. Lipton became thirsty and drank out of the glass. He had no sooner done so than he fell to the floor unconscious. He was taken to the emergency hospital in the police ambulance. After a couple of hour of hard work, Drs. Ford B. Rogers and George Dagg declared Lipton out of danger. He will get well.
