CURIOUS SURGICAL DsoovERY-A we'll known
gentleman iu Boston, recently, had cut from his
body, some inches below the arm, q fungus-liAe
substance of the size of an ordinary marble. II
was attached to the body by thread like ligs-
ment On placing IL upon the table, and for some
three or four hours, it moved perceptibiy.
dissection Of the substance discovered an insect
in vigorous life. The gentleman visited Cuba
some six mouths since, where 1t is supposed the
insect insinuatsd itself beneath the skin, and
from that time has been living upon the fat of
the man. Had not the knife Of the surgeon been
brought into requisition, it is not easy to tell
what would have been the consequence Of this
nsectusl attachment.
