Elephant Dentistry in the Gardens Shows Brave Veterinary Work
The Saturday Review recounts how a large African elephant with tusk stumps swelling into its cheeks was treated by Superintendent Bartleet. He lanced the inflamed cheek with a lancet after binding the animal’s eyes, then repeated the procedure on the other side the next day. The elephant endured without a groan, proving remarkable nerve and calming after the first incision. The piece also notes Linn vs Hodge for Clark county circuit clerk and a Coles county case appeal, plus a Rhode Island 1862 drought anecdote with a Baptist minister dead.
