Swallowed His False Teeth.

Syracuse (N. Y.) Courier: Mr. Randall, of Onondaga Hill, who swallowed his false set of teeth six weeks ago, was in this city yesterday. He still complains of great distress at times in his stomach, and says he has lost some fifteen or twenty pounds of flesh. He has received many letters from different parts of the country from people who have been similarly troubled, announcing remedies and operations applied and performed on them, but he has not availed himself of any of them. He prefers to wait awhile before adopting any measures to relieve himself. There have been instances where operations on the stomach in such cases have been made, and the patient has recovered and had good health.
