Why did he commit suicide? Oh for
the same reason that thousands of others are
on the verge Of the same sin, or in imme-
diate danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocy,
or some other equally unfortunate result of
any nervous affection. He knew he was
afflicted with a nervous disorder, but was
careless, apparently Indifferent to the out
come or he may have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little or no knowledge of such af
fections, or by deluging himself with worth
less so-called remedies. His case was a sad
one, but no worse than that of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick
headache, biliousness, dizziness, irritability,
melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes,
fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or
similar consequences are likely to result TO
any one who has any of these advance
symptoms of an awful end. Do not hesitate
in getting rid of them by intelligent treat
