Easton mentions a young man who accidentally swallowed some artificial teeth the previous night, and, to further their passage through the bowel, he took a dose of castor oil.

When seen he was suffering with pain in the stomach, and was advised to eat much heavy food and avoid aperients.

The following day after several free movements he felt a sharp pain in the lower part of his back.

A large enema was given and the teeth and plate came away.
The teeth were cleansed and put back in his mouth, and the patient walked out.

Nine years later the same accident again happened to the man but in spite of treatment nothing was seen of the teeth for a month afterward, when a body appeared in the rectum which proved to be a gold plate with the teeth in it.
