Trick of the Imagination.

Buffalo Express. A short time since a man was taken to one of the hospitals suffering intense pain. He informed the doctors that his home was down in the country, and that if he should die he wished to be sent there. The physicians asked him what he supposed caused the pain. “Why, I swallowed my plate and four false teeth while asleep the other night,” was the answer. The patient was put upon liquid food and all the examinations made by the medicos failed to locate the swallowed article. The man’s sufferings were lessened considerably and as a, terfT it was decided to give him a little piece of beefsteak. This was done and the poor patient was writhing in agony as soon asheh d swallowed a mouthful. “Oh, my God!” he exclaimed, “this is killing me. I know I shall die!” and numerous other such speeches. The physicians and nurses could hardly keep him in bed—he suffered so much. Again he broke forth in exclamation. This time he said: “Oh, h0w,.1 suffer. I can feel the teeth tearing my stomach apart. Oh —” he did not finish until a nurse opened a telegram from his wife,., It read: “Found teeth under bed.” The suffering man, who had swallowed these teeth' got up and dressed, paid his bill and left the hospital without a word.
