since Charles A. Wing, while riding in East
Calais with pipe in his mouth was thrown
from the wagon and, striking on his face
the pipe-stem was jammed through his pal
ate. He called on DR.. Gray, a physician
in the town, as quickly as possible, who
picked out, as he thought, all the broken
pipe. Mr.. Wing got along all right until re-
Gently, when he experienced some pain be-
low the right eye and also felt lump in the
roof of his mouth. So he went to DR..
Carpenter who, after examining him, cut
through the swelling, and with a pair of
nippers grasped piece of pipe-stem an
inch and half long and drew it out of his
mouth, Mr.. Wing feels that he has at last
got rid of the effects of the accident, and

habit, as he has given up smoking. -
