BICST BOOTS IN LANCISHIRE.—Acivt. „Suicide of an Ex-Sergeant's Wife. . The pathetic circumstances attending the death of Sarah Devlin; aged 58 years, of 22, Miller•street, Latchford, wife of Patrick Devlin, an ex•policesergeant formerly stationed at Sankey, were investigated at the Police 'Station. on Tuesday night by Mr. Coroner Brighoase and a jury.—The husband stated that for some time his wife had been suffering from cancer on the liver and had been under the care of Dr. Collins. She had been in bed except for a few hours since Thursday. She had suffered a great deal of pain. At abaut 10.45 on Sunday morning, witness took some soup upstairs to his wife and sat with her for a short time. He asked her if she was any better and she replied " about the same," and that she would get up when the house had been cleaned. Witness went downstairs at about 11.5, and shortly afterwards, in consequence of what his daughter Catherine said, and her screarns for help, he ran upstairs and found his wife with her throat eut, evidently by a razor. Dr. Robinson was called in, and he dressed the wound, but she died at 1.30. The Coroner, read a note which had been left by tha deceased saying "that she caild not stand the pain, and asked that the girls should be taken for a change and go into another house." Witness, continuing, said he had not the slightest suspicion that his wife would take away her life. The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide, whilst of unsound mind," and expressed their sympathy with the bereaved husband and family.  ...

While many people have no hesitation in taking a dozen bottles of medicine in liquid form prescribed by a doctor, there are many persons who view with alarm the suggestion to take a course of Pills. This • misapprehension is no doubt due to the iinX 7414 10" prescion that Pills are merely Purgative. This J44;7\ may be correct iii some instances.
