...Newton, Mass., William M. Duncan, while standing in his living room suffered a fainting spell which caused him to fall upon the floor. His wife, when she entered the room and saw her prostrate husband, swooned in a corner. The elder son of William M. Duncan came into the room, saw his parents lolling in their coma, and crumpled up beside them. All three were inert upon the floor when the younger son of the Duncans sauntered in and the iad staggered to the telephone and whispered to a doctor. When the physician arrived, he found four Duncans stretched unconscious...
