a Frog in the stomach r4hree Years.

a Frog in the Stomach TThree Years.
A son of Mr.. Charles Davis, residing in
Gould's Court leading from Montgomery.
near Light street, has caused the family
great uneasiness for three years past in con
sequence of his being subject at times, for
hours together, to spasns and terrible fts.
Physicians were conculted, but all their in
vestigaLions failed 10 reveal the causes that
produced the malady. Yesterday afternoon,
about three O'Clock, when entering the
house, the lad was seized with the syrnp-
toms of his malady, and in a fit of retching,
threw up upon the floor live frog, about
two inches in length. The frog hoped
gaily about the floor until secured by the
family. Instant relief was experienced by
the lad. His name is William Davis. and
he is about ten years of age. He has no
recollection of the time the frog was taken
into his stomach, but his father thinks it
was swallowed with his drink, about three
years ago. when he was first afflicted with
fits.-Bdltin,ore Sun asT see esioE
