Woman Shoots Out Her Aching Tooth

1920

BALTIMORE, Md. — As remedy for a toothache Mrs. Teresa Kwedar, 50 years old, of Mount Winas, sought to shoot out the offending tooth with a .32 caliber revolver. Mrs. Kwedar was brought to St. Agnes Hospital here with a bullet wound near her right ear. Her husband said she had carried out her threat to shoot her tooth out if it did not get better. At the hospital Mrs. Kwedar said the wound was less painful than the toothache.
