 How Did It Happen
 Charles L. Gold of West Cornwall brought his six-year old son here Mon- day to be treated by Dr. H. l.. Ross. The little fellow had fallen down stairs and all the front teeth on his lower jaw were pushed outward and separated from the nerves. Dr. Ross replaced them, however, and believes they will again become soundly imbedded. How the teeth happened to be pushed out ward instead of inward when the young ster had his tumble, is mystery. And another peculiar feature of the incident is that his lips were not cut. E, .J Company Incorporated '.,
