In an Emergency.

It is well to remember this. A correspondent some time sine? wrote an English journal as follows : A patient of mine recently swallowed a plate (gold, with two teeth), and I immediately adepted a practice recommended to me some years ago by Sir James Paget in a similar case. I made him eat three goad-sized slices of bread and swallow soar tablepoonfuls of flour and water made into a fairly t’liek masL I then administered an emetic, and the teeth returned entangled in the tenacians vomit. I may add that the first case was equally successful, and that something of this sort is habitually done at police stations, when pisoners arrested for passing false coins swallow them.— Exchange.
