Hanover - As a result of drinking a quantity of carbolic acid about 11 o'clock 
yesterday morning, Mrs. Charles W. Baile is now lying in a serious condition at 
her home, 24 Ridge avenue.  Mrs. Baile has bee in ill health for the past twelve 
years, suffering from various diseases, which brought on nervous trouble.  It is 
probable that in taking some medicine Sunday morning she got hold of the wrong 
bottle and drank a quantity of the acid.  Her screams brought the husband from 
downstairs, who found her lying across the foot of the bed.  Medical aid was 
called at once and a strong antidote administered, which will probably save her 
life, although her mouth and throat are severely burned.   Mrs. Baile is about 
thirty years of age and the mother of three children.
