The explanations in this case are most unsatisfactory. Two men are taken to the Hospital between 10 and 11 in the evening of the 10th instant, suffering from the effects of some poison, the nature of which is not known. The wardmaster treats them with an emetic which he says is probably sulphate of zinc - "which is kept for such cases in the dressing tray." He does not think it necessary to warn Dr. Wharry and the men fortunately recover without seeing medical men. The Superintendent not having seen them till 11 o'clock next morning when they appeared perfectly well. Had the poison been of another kind they might have been dead by that time without seeing the Superintendent.
