A FAMILIAR VERDICT.
skilled Himself in a Fit Of De-
spondency.'
A Theory of Suicide Sustained BY
Medical Evidence.

Is there any relation to be traced be-
tween the prevalence Of stomach trou-
BILE" and the prevalence Of suicide
while in a respondent state Of mind"
That is a question which only an oD-
servant person would ask, but, being
asked, 1t suggests very important field
Of inquiry.
Every dyspeptie knows what it is to
leel that duh cloud Of dependency set
tle down on the mind as fog settles
down on the sea or wraps itself about
the mountain climber. The blue is
wiped out of the sky, the green fades
from the grass, the sun is blotted from
the heavens. There is a sense of fear
and dread of impending danger. Forms
seen through this fog of the mind are
magnified and distorted, looming large
and threatening like spectre of the
Broken. It's q miserable feeling; mis-
cradle for the sufferer, miserable for his
friends and for his family. Does that
condition of depression ever come to a
man or woman without causing the
cry in the secret heart,
Il WOULD THAT WE'RE DEAD?"
And if the condition becomes more
frequent, the riffs In the fog more rare,
does not the thought of self-destruc-
tion haunt the depressed mind? Like
some evil peeping face which flattens
itself against the window and watches
US as we eat like evil eyes that burn
through the darkness Of the sleepless
hours and hold the gaze in terrified
fascination, so this thought of seif-de
struction haunts the respondent mind
and, like the ghost of Banquo, will not
down"
These are facts. They are common
facts Is it any wonder that some day
in such a fog of mind, haunted and
bounded by this one thought of escape
from a life Of misery, the man sends
bullet into the aching heart and stills
it, He may be rich, his family may
adore him, his friends may be legion.
But through the fog of this depression
he sees poverty stalking him. His
foes are those of his own household"
he thinks, and those who call him
friend are plotting his ruin.
SUICIDAL DESPONDENCY
Is common result of diseased con-
dition of the stomach and organs OF
digestion and nutrition from which the
dyspectie sufferers. There is a rela-
ton TO De traced between suicide rom
dependency and the respondent condi-
ton of the mind so common to the vic
tim of stomach trouble in some of its
forms. In the large correspondence of
DR.. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting ply
stefan to the InUalids' Hotel and Surg
ioal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, the fea-
ture of mental suffering is always prom
inent in the letters Of those who are
seeking a cure from diseases which af-
feet the digestive and nutritive system.
This will be noted in the letter which
follows:
Il was afflicted with what the doc
tors called nervous indigestion. Took
medicine from my family physician to

Commissary Sergeant Accepted

WASHINGTON. March ;.-The war de-
executive session before beginning the
examination Of any witnesses. The tes-
timony OF Clarence Walters of the First
volunteer engineers of New York, was
rather sensational He was apparently
we'll educated and intelligent, evidently
a man of the world, and gave his testi-
mony clearly and calmly, but with posi-
tive directness.
He was asked what his experience
with canned beef had been on the voy-
age Of his transport to Porto Rico and
replied that the first can he saw opened
had worms in it and few minutes
after being opened, developed such a
putrid odOr that it was impossible to
have it about. He ate some of it and
was made violently sick. He said he
had been on sea trips before and was
never seasick. The men of his
company complained Of the meat
and the coTnmissary sergeant re-
fused to accept it. Some
of the meat was given to the surgeon
major who tasted it and said it was all
right. The sergeant commissary was
compelled to accept it, but did so under
protest. Nearly all the men of his
battalion were sick throughout most Of
the voyage as result of eating this
meat. Colonel Davis, the recorder, or.
dered q can opened and asked witness
If it was the same he had used in the
service. Witness said it bore no re-
emblance TO the campaign article
The cams he had seen were different
form, Keystone shape, and the colof,
consistency and odor of the contents
were entirely different. A second can
was opened for inspection with the same
result. The witness did not recognize
it. He said the commissary sergeant of
his company was George Taylor of Sc
Pine street, since made lieutenant.
After reaching Porto Rico, he was
sick for q week as result of the VOYAGE.
He was given some medicine and told
me would be all right in little while.
On shore he got supplies from the Red
Gross and bought milk and eggs from
the natives, practically subsisting HIM
self during his stay on the island At
least two-thirds of his company were
fully as sick as he, and from the same
cause.
