Probably nearly every reader of this pa per received yesterday a small vial of pat ent medicine called "Kreak," which was being thrown around the city In quantities by representatives of the company manu facturing It. It was represented on the wrapier as being a specific for rheumatism and neuralgia, designed entirely, however, for external application. The trial bottles were about the size of one's little finger and contained, perhaps, a tablespoonful of the liquid. It was extremely powerful, and Its odor showed that it contained such ingre dients as ether anil jierhaps a local an.es Uietie of some character. Among those who received a sample bot tle of the stuff was Slgnor Vincent Bigio, the well-known harp player, who lives at OS Fi-her streeL lie carried It hoim wrapped in the little circular that accompa nles it and set It on the table In the kitchen. In the afternoon his tliree-y ear-old son. Vincent, a little lad with eyes as black a night and dark Italian curly hair, cut his finger while playing around on the floor and ru.lieil out into the kitchen. Seeing the bottle on the table, he concluded with In fantile logic that being sick he ought to take some medicine. He accordingly pulled the cork out of the bottle and drank MOST OF ITS FIEItV COXTFVTS. The effect was Instantaneous. He ran Into the room to his mother, choking and gasp iii in the most terrifying fashion, and what was more alarming still, with his fact covered with blood from his cut hand. The child's actions anil appearance almost frightened Sirs. Klgio to death, but seeing the almost emptied bottle, she at once un derstood the situation. A lady physician, who is at present the guest of the family of Prof. John Keislng, next door, was sum moned, and administered a heavy dose of lobelia as an emetic, which had the effect of cleaning out the stoma-h. Meanwhile Mrs. Klgio hurried up town to a druggist, ami showed him the small quantity of the liquid left in the bottle. He at once said that one of the ingredients was oil of mustard and cautioned her against using any mustard inwardly in treating the child The child's promptJ vomiting undoubtedly saved its life, or at least avoided great suffering. It after wards sank Into a sort of stupor, and was quite III the rest of the day, but is all right this morning. Moral: Don't give patent medicines of unknown couiositlou a place hi your house, ami above all, doift put it In reach of our babies. MRS. MCCARTY'S BREAK.
