Re: Interesting Anecdotes from the Past
Medicine, Ink and the Blotting Paper
The attending physician had left Mr. Matthews some medicine in a vial, which a friend was to administer during the night. By mistake, he gave the patient some ink from a vial which stood near. On discovering the error, his friend exclaimed, “O, gracious Heavens, Matthews, I have given you ink, instead of medicine.”
“Never—never mind, my dear boy,” said the dying man faintly; “I will swallow a piece of blotting paper.”
