Reno Evening Gazette January 27, 1881
Killed by Tapeworm Medicine
George H. Hopkins, a native of Wales, forty years of age, died in Gold Hill
yesterday morning from the effects of a heavy dose of creosote.  The Enterprise
says he took the drug some five weeks ago to kill a tapeworm, the taking of such
medicine for that purpose being an experiment of his own invention.  The
creosote so influenced the coating of his stomach that he could retain no food,
and in consequence finally died.
