"I'VE SWALLOWED A MOUSE."
"I've swallowed a live mouse," cried a young married man who ran into Lawmoor Police Station, Glasgow. "I felt it running down my throat." The amazed officer on duty at the bar suggested that the man had had a nightmare or had made a mistake. The persuasive powers of the policeman, however, were of no avail.
The man contended that while he was asleep in his home at 1 a.m. the mouse had run along the top Of the bedclothes and gone into his mouth. He had felt it running down his throat.
So insistent was he that an ambulance waggon was called out and he was taken to the Victoria Infirmary. There he was given an injection by a doctor and shortly afterwards became sick.
He then left the infirmary. He had not swallowed a mouse. ■
A doctor afterwards expressed the view that the man had merely had a nightmare.
