LOSES BRIDGE WORK, SANITY IS RESTORED Waman ILong Violent Becomes Nov- mal When Decay Frees Mewnl Dental Work Milwaukee, Jan. 31.—After twelve years of confinement in the Wauwato- sa hospital for Mental Diseases a woman's sanity waa restored by the decay of three ancher teeth that held L vy gold bridge in place. is bridge fell from the woman's mouth & week ago, and immediately such a marked improvement in her mental condition was noticed, Dr. W. ¥. Beutler, superintendent of the in- stitution sald, that she has been re- leased. Hospital officlals are eon- vinced that, in spite of the short time she was under observation the cure will be permanent, “For twelve years,” said Dr. Beut- ler, “this woman was confined in the disturbed ward because of her ten- dency to become violent.. There was at no time improvement, indeed she gradually grew worse and gave the suards constant trouble. From the moment the heavy bridge fell from her mouth, however, her mind began to clear.” Dentists have shown extreme in- terest in the case and for the most part explain the woman's return to sanity as due %o the draining of poison from the sinuses of the face, which the bridge had prevented. They re- called other instancea in which sanity has been restored by exiracting a tooth to permit drainage of an infec- tion, but none in which the obstruc- tion was caused by the pressure of a bridge upon the roof of the mouth.

I do not know what is going to take place in the immediate future, but we might as woll have our hands on eur guns.* In a statement following his talk, Admiral Sims sald that his recent re- marks on the Irish question were based on historic facts and that he would repeat them when the occasion offered.
