Walter Pierce, a young man of 17, whose home is at Gloversville, had a close call yesterday. He is addicted to cigarettes, and took advantage of his visit to this city to enjoy himself to his fullest capacity, smoking several packages a day. Of late he has complained at times of feeling drowsy, and thought the cigarettes did not agree with him. The sequel shows that they did not. Yesterday, after breakfast, he smoked about fifteen, and then went into the parlor of his aunt's house, on Central avenue, to lie down. When called for dinner he was found in an unconscious state, with his body perfectly rigid. The frightened family called in Dr. Schill, who recognized the symptoms, and after working over the victim for several hours got him in a partially normal condition. The doctor says the young man will recover, and the young man says he is done with cigarettes. -Albany (N. Y.) Express.
