HIS OWN DOCTOR.
PRESCRIPTION THAT KILLED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier. Last Night. At an inquest on Sidney Charles Forrest, who died last night after having taken a mixture of ingredients which he procured and made up himself, it was stated deceased bought and boiled extracts instead of herbs to make up a prescription taken from a medical book. The medical evidence was to the effect that death was due to kidney disease, accelerated by an overdose of spirits of puniper and oil of Wintergreen, which, however, would not affect a man in normal health.
