Not until last Mon- day night did any one realize what ho had been doing to himself. Then he was mad and had to be bound as a wild beast is bound. The raving of madness passed away, after hours of ceaseless, exhausting convulsions, Then ensued a and vacant stare, such as {dlot. Unconsciousness again ensued, ard in this sti he passed away. The doctor i@hbors could not un- Gerstand his sudden dissolution, He had always been sane, He had never been addicted to liquor, his morals were above reproach, It remained for Frank W. Lartson, of Lambertville, « friend and brother phy- siclan, to clear up the mysery. Ho Mmself was appalled by hie friend's terrible end until, in searching among George Wenner’s papers, he discovered @ diary telling the story of the tragedy, Parts of it ran thus; “July $-Half a grain ta - mically in afternoon, Condition nee Antidoten administered successful, “July 13-5 P.

The diary in the beginning told how he had heard the whisper that has come to men from the beginning who have done things, “But you; you might evoceed.” It would be a great thing, a wonderful salvation to humanity, ho wrote. ‘When it came time to undertake the experiments he had planned, Dr. Wen- ter came to a realization of the danger thet lay along the road he would fol- low. He could not ask another to go where he was afraid to travel. It was too much. of @ sacrifice to ask another to make, He was alone in the world, a bachelor, witn no ter, Who could bet- ter describe the action of the drug than he? Who could better tell of the prog- ress? Who could tell better what power each antidote asserted of its effect than he? Then George Wenner decided that he himself should be the subject. It was a eonclusion probably reached in the cool, calm way that his judgment often had acted at moments when he was alone with the sick and dying far out in the country beyond the call of a brother physician and everything depended upon him.
