A man named Holland, living near Fon-du-
Lac; was attacked with q severe toothaehe the
other evening, and thought his head would
split open He would sit down for a moment,
holding his face il one of his hands and groan.
Then he would jump up and pace the floor;
and kick at something that happened to lie in
his course, aud then sit down aud gfoau some
more. It was bad case; Everybody III the
house was made miserable by the mans suf-
ferings and lamentations. He tried holding
alum and salt in his mouth, aud binding
horse-radish leaves on the outside Of his Jaw;
but they did no good. Finally somebody
came across 81 DIR. Chaase's Recipe Book"
and therein was BALM for every i'll. In two
minutes recipe was selected aud courier
was dispatched with it to drug store in the
city to have it put up" He returned in
due time, and dose of the compound, which
contained among other Ingredients liberal
quantities of ether aud chloroform, was adj
ministered.
Presently the tochache was relieved and the
patient felt himself gradually ovefp0wefed
by sleep. The suspicion all at once crossed
his mind that he had been poisoned. He be-
came greatly Affirmed, and appealed to his
Wife, in a frenzy of desperation, to save him
from his impending fate. A doctor was sent
for, and while the messenger was gone the
alarm was communicated to the neighbors.
One of the men seized d pail and ftialied odt
into the pasture; Where lie woke up cow,
MIXED about a quart, and hurried back to the
house. This the dying man drank, and had
just finished when another neighbour came IN
and said there was nothing so sure an antidote
for all kinds of poison as raw eggs. Seven or
eight raw eggs were administered to the suf-
fering man, and lie just infatuated that 1t was
not possible for him to swallow another when
two moro neighbors arrived simultaneously
one bearing can of lard and another tea
saucer full of coffee. The lady with the lard
said that they must help her get some Of it
Down him right away--there wasn't mo-
ment to loose--and the one with the coffee set
about preparing a cup of that beverage for
the dying man, which, she said, must be
strong enough to hold up an iron wedge.
The unfortunate man had got down about
three f6nrths of teacupful of lard when the
coffee was ready, and he unbuttoned his waist
coat and swallowed it, There seem to be
just room enough left for it. Another neigh
Dor came in, aud insisted that what the pa
tent had in him they had better get out. He
said Che quicker they did something OF THAT
kind the better It would be for him, aud that
It was dangerous to delay tho matter mo-
n,snt longer. They had prepared bowl Of
! strong salt and water, and were urging Hol-
land to take some Of it when the dcctdr ar
rived. He examined the contents Of the bot
tie carefully, tasted IL, then said This is
all right very good remedy for tootbache
and neuralgia, gives the patient rest for a
time from his pain" "And Amt 1t poison P''
gurgled the man, who was so full Of new
milk, raw eggs lard, coffee and salt water,
that he could scarcely articulate, faint it
poison doctor9'' "Well, no not exactly,
and yet quart OF two might kill manor
it might motif would depend good deal on
his condition A man Of Our health and con-
stitution could easily get away with churn-
full of it,"
