Takes Carbolic Acid; Will Likely Recover

Statesville, March 30—According to her physician, unless complications arise, Mrs. Anderson Nash will recover from the effects of carbolic acid, which she took Saturday night.

Mrs. Nash and others went on a long hike Saturday. That evening on her return she announced that she was tired and would retire. Soon after her husband left the room, she was heard to scream, and investigation disclosed that she had taken the carbolic acid. Doctors were quickly summoned and did what could be done to offset the effects of the poison. She was unconscious for some time. Her condition is better and prospects for her recovery are good. Whether the acid was taken through error or purposely has not been definitely established.
