The Lyons Mirror tells this story.
About fortnight since, DR.. MeQuigg Of
this city, was summoned to see Mrs. Nelson,
the daughter OF Mr.. S. Ressler, who had come
to her parents in consequence oil a severe
illness, and, it was feared to die.
She had been troubled with An uneasy,
gnawing. and painful sensation in the stom-
ach, for two years and half few weeks
before her return, the sensation increased in
peignancy. her distress was continual, a eray-
ing thirst iormenting her which could not be
satisfied She became emaciatea and weak
her physicians at ST. Paul pronounced her
case hopeless and in obedience 10 the desire
of her family she came home to them. DR..
McQnigg was soon convinced that there was
something alive in her stomachs and treated
her accordingly. Intwo or three days after
the administration of medicine for the pnr
pose, the patient yomited portion of the
shell OF n crab which was accompanied by a
copious flow of blood. The entraiis Of the
crab also passed her-a continuous piece
served in spirits. The length Of this craw-
6sh was about three inches. Since the kill.
ing Of the interoper Mrs. Nelson is rapidly
recovering and will aoon be fully restored, it
is confidently anticipated.
DR.. McQnigg supposes that the crab was
swallowed when extremely small or in the
egg. He accounts for its comparative harms
lessness upon the patient for the greater part
Of time, upon the presumption that, as during
that period her appetite was great, the intrn-
der was kept satisfied, and that when she al
most ceased to eat, as was the case for the
latter few weeks, it became troublesome
causing an incessant irritation, which mnst
ultimately have lead to fatal effects.
