C. C. Benmelberg, an old age pensioner over 70 years of age, shot himself at Christchurch on Wednesday morning. The suicide was evidently deliberate. He tied a double-barrelled shot gun to the brickwork of a copper, sat down on a box opposite and pulled the trigger with a walking stick, the bullet penetrating the heart. The man was not in financial difficulties, but had been suffering severely from rheumatism for some time. The body was found by a milkman. Deceased left two notes, one to the milkman and the other to the Coroner. Now is the time to take a holiday, get out into the country, on the mountains and visit the seashore, but do not forget to take a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy along with you. It is almost certain to be needed and cannot be obtained on railroads or steamships. It is too much risk for anyone to leave home on a journey without it. For sale everywhere
