Drunkenness and Death From Cider

A FAMILY of four adults, in Northbridge, Mass., have drank enormously of cider since last fall, the quantity being estimated at forty to fifty barrels. They had been unable to sell it at a fair price, and so used it themselves. During the spring and latter part of the winter it was very hard, and the drinkers were intoxicated much of the time. Six weeks ago the mother died in a fit, and later one of the sons died in a similar way, while the father has delirium tremens.
