CHAPTER XIV.
MISCELLANEOUS SURGICAL ANOMALIES.
Marvelous Recoveries from Multiple Injuries .-- There are injuries so numerous or so great in extent, and so marvelous in their recovery, that they are worthy of record in a section by themselves.

They are found particularly in military surgery.

In the Medical and Philosophical Commentaries for 1779 is the report of the case of a lieutenant who was wounded through the lungs, liver, and stomach, and in whose armpit lodged a ball.

It was said that when the wound in his back was injected, the fluid would immediately be coughed up from his lungs.

Food would pass through the wound of the stomach.
