POISONED BY EATING SAUSAGE

Mr. and Mrs. Donald Beam have been very sick since Sunday night or early Monday morning from ptomaine ipoisoning, but at, this writing both are reported quite a little better. The poisoning was caused from some country sausage they ate and which they had had in the house for about a week. It seemed all right, but the doctor who was called examined it Monday morning and said if they had eaten of it then it would have killed them both.
