Title
Firecracker Fails to Cure Hiccoughs, p. 6
Description
“Physicians exploded a giant firecracker at the bedside of James McGowan at a hospital in Logansport, Ind., in the hope that the nervous shock would stop his hiccoughing, from which he had been suffering for five days, but though he was quieted he died of exhaustion.
McGowan, who was forty-eight years old, had been hiccoughing continuously, and electricity and other remedial agents, were tried without effect before the opening of the Fourth of July celebration suggested the firecracker as a last aid.”
