 traction of Tooth.

Little Rock, June 30.-A verdict of $750 in favor of the plaitiff in the case of R. M Sullivan against Arthur Le Moine, doing business as the Union Painless Dentist, was returned by the jury in the Second Division of the Pu- laski Circuit Court yesterday.
 The action was for $2,000 damages, which the plaintiff alleged he sustain ed on account of treatment he receiv- ed from the dentist after he had ex- tracted one of his teeth. When the tooth was removed he alleges that he became unconscious. and in attempts to revive him those treating him spill ed the contents of bottle of ammonia in his eyes, binding him and injurine him so that he was unable to work at his trade as a boilermaker for 23 days, and that the ammonia injured him permanently.
 The grounds of the defense were that Sullivan was solely responsible for the accident It is charged that Sullivan became excited over the hem- orrhage that followed the extraction of the tooth and tainted, and that. while he was being revived by the dentist, who placed a bottle of ammonia to his nose, he struck the the bottle with his hands. and some of the fluid was spilled into his eyes.
