Joseph N. DANIELS, the 11-year-old son of J.N. DANIELS, of Southport, N.C., died suddenly in the office of Dr. W.C. GALLOWAY, an oculist of Wilmington, while efforts were being made to remove a sand burr from his throat. The child’s throat was being sprayed with cocaine and this is supposed to have been what caused his death. While in the operating chair he suddenly gave a twitch and died almost instantly.
