A Valuable Pact fob the Toothachey.—Dr. Dyce Duckworth contributes a short memorandum on this subject. He was called on to treat a case of very severe toothache, and tried various ordinary remedies, including chloroform and carbolic acid, without any benefit to the patient. He then remembered having read that the pain might be relieved by holding in the mouth a solution of bicarj bonate of soda. He at once gave the patient half a drachm in an ounce of water, and, to his astonishment, the pain ceased immediately, and complete relief was secured. He thinks that, as the remedy is io simple and the disease so distressing and often intractable, this treatment may be worthy of notice and imitation. i The Shah. —A Teheran correspondent, writing on the 13th of July, says :—" On the lGth ult., Mirza Hussein .Khan had the honour of entertaining the Shah at his house for a whole day. His Majesty breakfasted there," and received many presents, £12,000 in cash for himself ana and jewels and 100 Cashmir shawls for his ladies. The entertainment cost Hussein Khan £20,000. The Shah never visits any one without : expecting to receive presents. Among the people whom he visited in Europe there may be some who did at the time think of giving money, or jewels, or shawls ; there is still time to forward their donations to Persia Anything handsome or dear will be thankfully received."—Pall Mall Gazette. Martin Fullerton fell off his furniture truck the other day' in Myrtle-avenue, but his ears acted as a parachute, and he reached terra firma without injury.— Brooklyn Review.
