The Bridport Sun
Thursday, 19 December 1901


         The death of CARLETON GUPTIL of Ripton,
       it is found, was caused by drinking too
       much "beef, iron and wine." GUPTIL attended
       a dance in the town hall one night last week
       and with three other companions, JOHN RACE,
       LUTHER KINE and HARLEY DOW, drank in lieu
       of other intoxicants, a large quantity of
       the preparation named. There were afterwards
       found in the hall 24 empty pint bottles 
       carrying the label of beef, iron and wine.
       The symptoms of GUPTIL before he died Sunday,
       indicated strychnine or arsenic poisoning,
       but the cause was fixed as above. His three
       companions and a woman who was also in the
       drinking party, have been critically ill.
