SAD CASE OF SUICIDE
IN WHITESIDE COUNTY

Miss Agnes Jean Atkins. known in
many towns hereabouts through her
talents as an clocutionist, is dead at
her home i'm Rock Falls, Whiteside
county. having taken strychnine
while melancholy over fear that she
was losing her mind.
During her sufferings her parents
asked her as to the cause of her i'll
ness. At first she would not tell
them, but she finally admitted that
she had taken strychnine, and gave
as her reasons that she feared she was
going TO lose her mind. She said she
had dreaded for some time the idea
of being taken to an insane asylum.
1t is thought, too, that the death of
her brother, Lyle. which took place
Jan. ,, had something to do with her
diseased state of mind. She spoke
to her mother only Monday about
him. calling attention to the fact that
that day would have been the tenth
anniversary of his wedding. These
seem to be the only reasons for the
terrible deed. No change of temper
ament was noticed by her friends,
but her mother knew that she was
worried and nervous and that the
death of her brother had affected her
seriously. She went out but little
since the funeral of her brother. She
was 20 years of age.

In the line of immoral suasion cannot be
surpassed.
1t is a reflection on mans reason that
he often refuses to do what common
sense dictates, until he is forced to do
It. Common sense tells a man that he
cannot live irregularly and keep his
health. He is warned and admonished
time and again that hasty eating and
irregular meals result in diseases of the
stomach and other organs OF digestion
and nutrition But because Nature does
not directly threaten his life as Che pistol
does he goes right along until he is
obliged to reform because disease forces
him to do so.
UNHEEDED WARNINGS.
It is only when all her warnings have
been unheeded that Nature no longer
saws vYou should not" but "You shall
not This Is practically what happens
when the lover of high living has to give
up dainty dishes, sweets and condiments
and come down to a diet OF oatmeal or
tea and toast.
There are thousands of dyspeptics
whose condition shuts them out from all
the pleasures of the table There are
thousands OF others who are on the high
road to a like condition, unheeding the
warnings of the protesting stomach.
The great fact is that every man and
woman who suffers from dyspepsia can
be almost certainly cured by the use of
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
