 Until He Coughed It Up.

Until He Coughed 1t Up.
 A boy IT years old, driver by occus patton. writes Dr. Andrew V. Jova of Newburg and complained of having had a severe cough with expectoration for seven years. Last April he said that the cough had been worse for three weeks; he was unable to eat and felt weak He had a slight hemorr haze few days before The tongue was thiekly coated. Expeetoration was profuse and fetid. Respiration, A; temperature, 104 degrees Fahrenheit; pulse, 146. Physical examination of the chest showed, on the left side, percussion normal; there was an exaggerated respiratory murmur over the entire lung with slight rough ness. On the upper side percussion was normal The respiratory mur- mur was slightly bronchial In the lower part, especially over the back and side, percussion was dull, and there was almost complete absence of the respiratory murmur Two or three nights later he eoughed up a tack seyen-eighths of an inch long, well preserved except that it was covered with rutt and thick, dark mucus. On the following morning the respiration was 30; pulse, 100, and temperature. 102 degrees Fahrenheit From over the lower part of the lung came a gurgling= sound and over efrcum- scribed space about two inches in di- ametef eaYernous breathing. Three days later the respiration, pulse and temperature were normal. The patient rapidly recovered and soon was able to resume his occupation. but he still coughs little. and there is some dull ness over the lower part of the lung, with broncho-vesicu1ar breathing. His mother says that seven years ago, when he was 10 years old, he sWal- lowed tack while playing. He had experienced slight choking sensation at the time, but it soon passed away. He had coughed ever since, however, and she consulted several physicians, who ridiculed the idea of the tack and told her the boy had Eronchitis.-N York World.
