Roberts mentions a man who ran 60 yards and lived one hour after being shot through both lungs and the right auricle.

Curran mentions the case of a soldier who, in 1809, was wounded by a bullet which entered his body to the left of the sternum, between the 2d and 3d ribs.

He was insensible a half hour, and was carried aboard a fighting ship crowded with sailors.

There was little hemorrhage from his wound, and he survived fourteen days.

At the postmortem examination some interesting facts were revealed.
