After the discharge of the ball the intolerable symptoms improved, and in two or three weeks there was complete recovery.

Hoag mentions a man who was wounded by a round musket-ball weighing 400 grains.

It had evidently passed through the lung and diaphragm and entered the alimentary canal; it was voided by the rectum five days after the injury.

Lenox mentions the fact of a bullet entering the abdominal wall and subsequently being passed from the rectum.

Day and Judkins report similar cases.
