Dr. Wilhelm had been suffering from Sleeplessness and overwork
for some time. He took the drug on Friday Morning about 9 o'clock
to secure sleep, and by accident, it is believed to be certain,
took an overdose. He lay down to rest and it was not untill
well into the afternoon that the family became alarmed. Mrs.
Wilhelm tried to awaken her husband and could not rouse him.
She caused Dr. J.S. Hunt, of Easton, to be summoned. When
