Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 52, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 April 1902 — Talked Himself to Death. [ARTICLE]

Talked Himself to Death.

Talking too much caused the death at McKeesport, I’a., of Isaac Getting, 27 years old. Young Getting had been speechless and deprived of memory for 18 months owing to a spell of sickness. His case puzzled the physicians. When he regained his memory and speech he seemed in a fair way to recovery. The doctors ordered that he should be quiet, but the nurses were unable to keep him from talking day and night. The physicians ascribe his failure to improve to bis insistence upon talking.
