 gaged in the practice of pharmacy, who 

 desire to fit themselves in the microsco- 

 pical analysis of drugs. We predict suc- 

 cess for this evening extension course. 



STRANGE CAUSES OF DEATH. 



Of the hundreds of death certificates 

 handled annually by the Wisconsin State 

 Board of Health in making classification 

 of diseases, many contain interesting re- 

 marks as to the cause of death. These' 

 death certificates are generally filled out 

 by a local physician and mailed to the 

 board. Some of the "causes," as found 

 in the reports by Chief Statistician L. 

 W. Hutchcroft, follow: 



A mother — "died in infancy." 



Went to bed feeling well, but woke up 

 dead. 



Died suddenly at the age of 103. To 

 this time he bid fair to reach a ripe old 

 age. 



Do not know cause of death, but pa- 

 tient fully recovered from last illness. 



Deceased had never been fatally sick. 



Died a mere child (an infant of one- 

 half year). 



Last illness caused by chronic rheu- 

 matism, but was cured before death. 



Died suddenly ; nothing serious. 



Kick by horse shod on left kidney. 



Chronic disease.
