in this age one must advertise or few per-
sons will know what the publications are

comparatively few persons seem to know

SWALLOWED HIS FALSE TEETH
Lower Set belonging to an SO-Year-
Old Highland Man Now in His
stomach.

From the New York Times.
Pougheepsie. May 2S-At dinner yester-
day Philip wicklow. aged eighty years,
Of Highland, had just placed piece Of
shad roe in his mouth when he was OBJ
served by the members of his family to
cough and grow red in the face, as II
strangling. He was assisted to his feet
and slapped on the back, and after an
interval was able to explain that he had
swallowed his lower set of false teeth.
DR.. Lamoree, the village physician, was
sent for, and he ascertained that the old
gentleman's statement was true. He
could Just touch the plate holding the
teeth. which had lodged In the oesophagus.
When measures were taken to remove the
plate IT slipped down into the stomach,
where il now rests. DR.. Sadlier OF Pough-
keepsle was called in consuhation. He
explained that on account of Mr.. Wiki
lows advanced age an operation was not
10 be thought Of. and that II was best
to allow the teeth 10 remain where they
are. He could only recall one similar case,
and considered It remarkable that Mr..
KiIklow did not choke to death.
The old gentleman suffers no discom-
fort by the transfer OF his incisors and
moiars. from their natural resting place to
the interior of his anatomy.
