The influence of national habits and
peculiarities upon the methods of suicide. "a
already briefly indicated in respect OF poison
ing, Is not without interest. The English.
French. Saxon, Belgiaus. Norwegian and
Danish suicide resorts most frequently To
hanging (including stranl ulation) aud the
Sandman and Genevoise 10 the pistol and
musket Death by cutting the throat or BY
other wounds not caused by firearms holds
but the fifth place in order os favor with the
French suicide, aud the fourth with tho
Gardinian. but the second with the English.
Drowning has the second rank among
methods In France. Geneva, Sardinia, Belgi-
um. Norway and Denmark, and the third in
England and Saxony. Firearms which stand
first in favor with the Genevoise and Sar-
didnian suicide, holds the second place with
the Saxon, the third with the French Belgian
and Danish. and only the fifth with the
English. The yapor of burning charcoal
has the same degree (thc fourth) OF cstima-
ton with the French suicides that poisons
have with the English Only one suicide
from the fumes OF charcoal was recorded in
England in the FIVE years 1926 The
difference between England aud France in
this respect IS readily explicabe when il is
considered TO what a slight extent charcoal is
used for fuel in this country ms compared
with France.-Social Science ReUieic.
