BOY'S CHLOROFORM ·
DEATH
DOCTOR'S STRUGGLE TO SAVE HIS SON.
Dr. Archibald Duncan Nimic, of Colyton-road, Caberwell, 8.E.. told at an inquest at Camberwell how he struggled to save the life of his son, Adam Bonald Nimmo, nged eight, who died under chloro form at his home.
"No real artist can afford to be a gentleman. I soon found that out in my young days. So I am sure that if any of you engage Mr. Whistler (or any other ke artist) by the week he will behave quite rationally and will probably touch his hat to you, call you ir or Madam and not come dressed as -duke while the public, will be regaled with sketches in.
