called upon to visit the patient on the
lidth day after the occurrence. He

gin as the readiest means Of dislodging the
/ teeth, which still remained In the throat The
| patent followed his advice, and almost mme-
diateiy felt the teeth going down. But this
only led to worse result. The teeth moved
| down and lodged about one inch and half
/ above the entrance to the stomach Had they
| passed into the stomach according to med
| Teal authority, the chief danger IN the ease
| would have been over. But, lodging as they
| did, the patient could swallow nothing MT
even milk or water. 1t was absolutely impos-

poured down, as soon as the glass would be
removed from his lips it would come back

enough, TOO, all this time the man, who was
perfectly conscious and rational had no

AFTER the accident, he had not stood on lis
feet, lying alternately on bed and in an
lnyallds chair. This posture he kept at the
recommendation of his physician, until from
lack OF lood he became SO weakened that there
was no option in the matter and he had to
lie al the time. Operation with an instru-
1nent was suggested by his physcian hut

assurance could be given that it would re-

physician could not promise, and no such
operation was tried. After being for over
seven weeks without food WaggenselIer |

had no appetite for food. The day before his |
death he began to get short of breath and |
told his relatives that he felt himself diving |
w to the last hour he retained his senses and |
talked freely about his case, instrueting his |
relatives to have post-mortem examination |
made upon his body. In accordance with this |
request the examination was made by Drs |
Stewart and Agnew. The plate, with the |
teeth in 1t, was found about one inch and a |

Will be based on the property possessed by

will consist of an ordinary camera obscura
