Got No Sleep.

On the night following the ex- traction plaintiff had no sleep, and the following day a doctor was called in and ordered him to bed. The plaintiff's wife called on the dentist and bold him what had occurred, but though he said he would come and see plaintiff, he never did come.

Two days later, plaintiff was in such agony that the doctor ad- ministered morphia, and on March 17, plaintiff was taken to High- gate Infirmary where he was treat- ed with fomentations. After leaving the Infirmary, Dr. Bakér, of Cainden Road, was called and gave him some relief by making an incision, and on March 23, there wus a more elaborate operation by that doctor and his partner.
