Tonic more than one customer here told me that
they would not be without the medicine IL they
had to pay Ave dollars bottle for IT,. One gentle
man enthusiastically declared IL was worth Ave

The University Hotel, at Princeton, was
closed Friday night. 1t was created main.
ly for the benefit of the college by w. NJ
Libby. 1t never paid expenses, and this
year it was turned over to the college for
a dormitory, with the exception of a
wing reserved for hotel purposes. Even
this proved Improbable. The closing OF
the hotel will seriously affect the accom-
mediation of guests at commencement
exercises.

SWALLOWING HIS TEETH WHILE
ASLEEP

Phillip Mathews, of Bordentown, re-
Gently swallowed several false teeth while
asleep. II was strange accident, and
may prove fatal Mr.. Mathews is we'll
known citizen, and is about forty years
OF age, and has carried on the butchering
business many years. 1t seems that for
fifteen years he had worn three false teeth
in his upper jaw. They were attached TO
the same plate, and never before caused
him the least trouble. Mr.. Mathews be-
came SO used to the false teeth that he
often forgot he had any in his jaws other
than genuine molars. They were so
firmly set and chung so tightly to the roof
OF his mouth that he never considered it
necessary to remove them before retiring
Night in and ont Mr. Mathews went to
bed without giving the false teeth a
thought, as they were always in their right
places when he awakened in the morning.
On the night of Washington's Birthday
he retired rs usual without displacing the
teeth. AT about O'Clock in the morning
he was awakened by choking sensation
in his throat. For several minutes he was
seized with violent fit of coughing, and
then, as he collected his senses, he found
to his horror that the plate containing
the teeth had slipped down his throat.
de tried in vain TO reach the plate with
his fingers and then he awoke the other
members of his family. They, of course,
were dismayed at his plight, and all
kinds of means were resorted to in order
TO fish the teeth out of his throat. 1t
seemed that every effort in this direction
only lodged the teeth more firmly. When
morning dawned the sufferer was so weak
from pain and fright that he could hard
~ sit up IN an arm chair. He tried to
lay down once, but came near being
suffocated Doctors Young, Ships and
Longstreet were called 10 to relieve the
man, but could not devise any means to
extract the obstruction When the ply
sieians saw that the plate could Lot be
Withdrawn, they decided to cut Mr..
matthew's throat open, and in that way
take 1t out. Though he was suffering
excrucating pain, Mr. Mathews would
not consent to submit to the proposed OPP.
GRAFTON. AS last resort the teeth were
forced down his throat into the stomach.
ms did not alleviate his sufferings, for
IN little while his stomach began to
swell. The sharp edge of the plate cut
some OF his entrails, and Mr.. Mathews
experienced more pain than ever. Yes
teroay he was feeling worse. For week
past he has not eaten any food whatever,
and unless relief is soon obtained it is
feared that he will starye to death.
