SUICIDE SAID TO BE EpIDEMIC

DIR. La Rue, the famous French au-
5hority on abnormal phenOnmona, and a
professor in Laval University, has, after
exhaustive comparison of facts in
France Belgium, England and the Uni.
ted States, come to the conclusion the
inclination to suicide is a mania, and
is epidemic. There seems to be strong
corrOboration of this in our own cOun-
try where one suicide-particularly
among young females-follows another.
No learned authority has as yet discover
ed with eXactitude whether malaria is
epidemic or endemic, but it has been a
matter of notOriety for nearly half 4
century that the most reliable preventive
and curative of the various forms of ma.
aria is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters

seal of their appreciation upon it in ma.
