Pigne speaks of a woman of thirty-eight, who in the eighth month of her sixth pregnancy was gored by a bull, the horn effecting a transverse wound 27 inches long, running from one anterior spine to the other.

The woman was found cold and insensible and with an imperceptible pulse.

The small intestines were lying between the thighs and covered with coagulated blood.

In the process of cleansing, a male child was expelled spontaneously through a rent in the uterus.

The woman was treated with the usual precautions and was conscious at midday.
