Purple tabulates a list of 42 cases of heart-injury which survived from thirty minutes to seventy days. Fourteen instances of gunshot wounds of the heart have been collected from U.S. Army reports, in all of which death followed very promptly, except in one instance in which the patient survived fifty hours.

The bullet sped true, and, with a convulsive leap into the air, the fawn fell into the shallow brook dead. While the smoke was still pouring from his gunbarrel, Dave caught sight of a larger deer, previously hidden from view by some brushwood. Scarcely had he laid the fawn low when another gunshot rang out, and this deer also went down, kicking convulsively.

The schooner had got in our wake and was crowding all sail in pursuit. It soon became manifest that we could not escape. Our pursuer was hardly a gunshot off, and slowly but surely lessening the space between us. The sagacious Mr.

He made a glorious record in this war, and, being severely wounded, both by arrows and gunshot, he returned to his home to be nursed by his mother. When he was able to rise again peace was assured and he resolved to become a lawyer.

"Oh!" ejaculated my father in a disappointed tone; "but are you sure?" "Sure, sir? Yes. I'm not clever, and I'm better at gunshot wounds and amputations than at medical practice, but I do know a bit about metals and mining. Why, didn't we touch at Banca in '44 and see the tin mining there?" "Yes," said my father; "but I took no interest in it then." "Well, I did, my lad. Tin? No.
