Herald:
POPLAR Tor, MAURY County. Oct. s. 1872.
MEssRs. EDIToRs--I wish, through
your columns, to make very singular
and interesting ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS on
account of the extraordinary time re-
tained and interesting in medico-sur
gieal point. r54
In the year 1887, | was a resident of
Washington, d, c., and at that time was
eleven years OF age. In childish freak,
trying TO swallow a shot mo. y, it
slipped into the trachea or wind-pipe,
and being globular and weighty, soon
found its way into the left lung, where
1t remained, giving me no great incon-
venienee, except a slight tickling sensa-
tIon, until was about sixteen years old,
when ! began the study of medicine at
the Columbian University, which was
heated by hot air furnaces. This pro-
duced irritation of the lungs, causing
my friends much anxiety. This spell
was gotten over through the kindly
attention Of my preceptor, Dr. Joshua
Riley, Of ofGeorgetown, D. c., and | never
had q return of hemorrhage until
1852, in Nashville, when was waited on,
by Drs Jennings, Cheatham and Martin
black head, brother OF our own Judsa.
lreturned | from the city to my practice
in Maury; had several attacks Of hemor-
rhage, but for the last fifteen years have
not suffered, except from distressing
cough, which kept me constantly in
dread Of hemorrhage and habitually un-
der the influence of spirits, to drive of
the blues All this time the lungs pre-
sented none Of the symptoms, except
the cough and wasting expectoration,
usual in tubercular consumption. Now,
on last Monday, after severe spell OF
coughing | discovered had raised up
from my lungs a hard substance, which
! at first thought, before / looked at it,
must be cretacous tubercle. When
looked at it, however, / thought OF my
long lost shot. | took it ont of my
mouth, aud cut it to see if it was indeed
lead; when l became alarmed, believing
| should have return of my old dis
ease. Instead, however, my cough has
left me almost entirely. That shot was
in my lungs for thirty.f five years.
