Rain Hastens Death
Depression Occasioned by Weather Acts on Already Enfeebled Systems of Soldiers' Home Veterans

Soldiers' Home, Feb 6-Increase in death rate among veteran patients in the hospital here is always looked for at this season of the year, but six demises within three days exceeds the average. This is ascribed by doctors to depression, occasioned by the present contiuous spell of rain, acting on already enfeebled systems. [Rest of list omitted here] Americus H Hamilton, late Sixteenth Ohio Light Artillery, a native of Ohio, admitted from Muncie, Ind, in 1907, died February 3, aged 64.
