Drank Embalming Fluid.

  LANCASTER, Pa., Feb. 8 - Mrs. Margaret Snyder, aged 71, while at a 
funeral this afternoon, became faint and took a drink of what she 
thought was whisky.  It was undertaker's embalming fluid, however, and 
the services of a physician were required.  He left her apparently out 
of danger, but the excitement consequent upon the affair brought on an 
attack of heart disease which caused death in a short time.
