Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Telephone, June14, 1928, p. 2. LOCAL SOCIETY BICHLORIDE FOR SUICIDE Effort of Earl Wampler, a Local Medical Student, to End His Life Because of Ill Health May Recover. Despondent and because of ill health, Earl Wampler, a local high school graduate and a student in the University medical school, attempted to take his own life late yesterday evening in a pool room by swallowing bi-chloride of mercury and he is now in the city hospital waging a battle for recovery. As soon as the young man's condition was noticed he was taken to the office of Dr. Moser where a first aid remedy was administered and then he was taken to the city hospital where he is now being treated with the Carter remedy. Wampler refused to make any explanation, but it is believed he has an equal chance for recovery. Quick antidote and cleaning the stomach will probably save his life. The young man is a son of C. C. Wampler south of town, aged about 21, and his health was broken by a very serious attack of the flu, resulting in despondency and the effort to end his life.
