RACE AGAINST DEATH.
DEPRESSED YOUTH TAKES POISON.
Gisborne, September 10. A young man, aged 18, staggered into a shop yesterday afternoon and announced that he had taken poison. The astonished shopkeeper promptly communicated with the police, who took a taxi and made a race against death to the hospital. The man said he had taken cyanide, and completely collapsed, but prompt attention produced a rapid recovery! The action was due to depression following influenza. His parents reside at Wairoa.
