Brooklyn Standard Union
4 November 1876 A Child Killed with Morphine
Information was received this morning at the Coroner's office of the
death of Victor BULLOCK, three years and a half old, of No. 188 Remsen street, from an overdose of morphine.The child's mother, it appears, used the drug diluted with water, for neuralgia, and the little one found the
glass containing it in a closet, and had swallowed the mixture before discovery was made of what was going on.Dr. SHERWELL was called in, but
could not prevent death. Hope this helps someone.
