The patient remained in a state of collapse fifteen hours after being shot, and with little or no nourishment lived twenty-six days.

At the postmortem examination the wounds in the organs were found to be healed, but the cicatrices were quite evident.

Bowling gives a case of gunshot wound of the shoulder in which death resulted eleven weeks after, the bullet being found in the left ventricle of the heart.

Thompson has reported a bayonet wound of the heart, after the reception of which the patient lived four days.

The bayonet entered the ventricle about 1 1/2 inches from the left apex, traversing the left wall obliquely, and making exit close to the septum ventriculorum.
