Thatcher speaks of a woman who was gored by a cow in King's Park, and both mother and child were safely delivered and survived.
In the Parish of Zecoytia, Spain, in 1785, Marie Gratien was gored by an ox in the superior portion of her epigastrium, making a wound eight inches long which wounded the uterus in the same direction.

Dr.Antonio di Zubeldia and Don Martin Monaco were called to take charge of the case.

While they were preparing to effect delivery by the vagina, the woman, in an attack of singultus, ruptured the line of laceration and expelled the fetus, dead.

On the twenty-first day the patient was doing well.

The wound closed at the end of the sixteenth week.
