He divided the fifth pair, and from that moment no odour, no puncture, produced the slightest apparent impression on the membrane of the nose. In another dog he destroyed the two olfactory nerves, and placed some strong odours beneath the nostrils of the animal. The dog conducted himself as he would have done in his ordinary state.
It is with the needle-like spines of this species that many tribes of Indians puncture their skins in tattooing themselves, and other uses are made by them of different parts of this noble tree. The macaws, parrots, and other fruit-eating birds, are fonder of the nuts of the pupunha than perhaps any other species; and so, too, would be the fruit-eating quadrupeds if they could get at them.
Now, this Douglas was a huge, raw-boned boatswain's mate that flogged left handed, and had also a peculiar jerk in his manner of laying on the cat-o'-nine-tails, and that always brought away with it little knobs of flesh wherever the knots fell, and so neatly, that blood would, at every blow, spout from the wounds, as from the puncture of a lancet.
I was going to speak to you about it, I supposed it was that black bear of Laddie's, when we had the next puncture. And that made me forget all about it; till now. Of course, it never occurred to me it could be Lad. Because Barret had said he was in the truck. But but oh, it WAS Laddie! He he was fastened, or caught, in some way. I know he was.

The physician who was still present watched him closely, and noticed that the cuff on his left hand was somewhat crumpled, as if it had been recently pushed back. Without a word he seized Mr. Jocelyn's arm and pulled back his coat and shirt sleeve, revealing a bright red puncture just made, and many others of a remoter date. "There is no use in lying about such matters to me," said the physician.
The action of the threads is to convert the cyst wall into granulation tissue, which undergoes the usual conversion into scar tissue. If the cyst re-forms, it should be removed by open dissection under local anæsthesia. Puncture with a tenotomy knife and scraping the interior, and the injection of irritants, are alternative, but less satisfactory, methods of treatment.

On the road to Brownsville there used to be a person who didn't like me we'd had a considerable unpleasantness, in fact.
For answer, I got out the cablegram and passed it across to him. He read it with brows contracted. "That seems to put a puncture in our little romance, doesn't it?" I asked, at last. He nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, it does," and he read the message again, word by word. "Armand's man hasn't called yet?" "No, I didn't get the message till about three o'clock.
