1Opinion of the CourtLadd, J.
The accused is charged with having administered a-certain noxious substance to one Flora B. Smith, she being pregnant, with intent to cause a miscarriage. The evidence leaves no doubt but that at her request he procured cotton root and wintergreen for her, and did bring her a substance he represented to her was what she desired, and that he advised her how to take it.' It is equally certain that what he did was with the intent that she take a substance in order to produce a miscarriage, and that she did take it for that purpose.
