MAN DIES SIGNING HIS WILL

COLLAPSES PEN IN HAND. Death came to a man with appalling: suddenness in Melbourne last week. Mr. John Galvin, a retired hotelkeeper, 55 years of age, had gone to a city business house to make an alteration in his will. Ho stretched out his hand. for tho pen to attach his signature to the amended document. 13ut before pen touched paper lie fell forward oil the table—dead. The new will was drawn up ready for the testator's signature, and witnesses wore waiting ready to attest it. Mr. Galvin cast his eye over the draft to see that ii: expressed his wishes, murmured "Yes, I think that's all right," and took up the pen to sign his name. Tho pen was actually in hi? fillers, when he suddenly sat back in his chair, and gasp^ 1 . "I'm dying His frame was convulsed, and he collapsed without another word. AVord was at once sent for a St. John ambulance. When it arrived the man in charge made a hurried examination of Mr. Galvin, and expressed the opinion that ho was dead, though the persons in the room could not realise it and considered that he must bo in a fit. He was taken to tho Melbourne Hospital, however, and there (he casualty doctor, Dr. P. A. .?)evens, and two other medical officers, confirmed tho fact of his death.

"At times I am seized with violent pains and purging, and have tried several so-called cures but find nothing equal to Chamberlain s Colie aud Diarrhoea Remedy."—Advt.
