Show LIKELY TO DIE FROM BITING OWN, TONGUE PITTSBURG. March 9. During a violent vio-lent fit of coughing several days ago, Ray . Bowden, a Clerk, of Wilson. Pa., bit his tongue, and as a result will probably lose his life. He Is now In the Allegheny General Gen-eral hospital, where the physicians regard his case as one of the most remarkable in medical history." Bowden had an attack of coughing, and when he waa through discovered that one of his teeth, had punctured his tongue. . , He paid little attention to the injury, until un-til his tongue began to swell so that he could scarcely talk or swallow. Surgeons found that gangrene had set In as the result of the small wound, and his tongue was amputated at once. The Infection had spread so greatly, however. ' that little hope Is entertained for Bow-den's Bow-den's recovery. |
