The attempt was not d success and
Mrs. Sailor is now all right with the
exception of some bad burns on her
face where she spilled some the liquid.
She purchased a three ounce bottle of
the acid and took it with her to the
tried to drink it.
This is the third attempt of Mrs.
Sailor to kill herself and each time
she had failed.
During the influenza epidemic last
fall and winter she was among those
who were severely attacked. Since
her illness she has acted queer accord

at times. Mrs. Nutgrass said Mon
day, "When she came in, my father

something was wrong. Soon she went
into the front room and when / fol-
lowed her after few minutes ! found
her on the bed with a small bottle Of
carbolic acid by her side. My father
called the doctors but by the time they
came she was almost all right. "Sev-
eral days ago she told me she was 60

her for one whole day to keep her
from doing it, but she took it when
