Suicide in Saxony

SAXONY has a larger number of suicides in proportion to her population than any other civilized State. Last year the number reached 1,104, or about 1 to 6,000 of the population. But startling as these figures are, the reason is not far to seek: Saxony has one distillery or brewery for each four square miles of her entire area.
