He dexterously dodged the blow, and whirling round secured a hold upon Hunston's collar that peculiar grip which is the specialty of men who have been in the force. Hunston struggled desperately to get free. In vain. Do what he would, he found himself being trotted along to save himself from strangulation. Not only was it physically painful.
"Sooner thee'st married the better for us, my son," commented his father at the close; "else farewell to psa'mody!" But Young Zeb did not reply. In fact, what remained of the peppermint lozenge had somehow jolted into his windpipe, and kept him occupied with the earlier symptoms of strangulation.
The case was one of strangulation of an umbilical hernia. Sloughing of the Intestine Following Intussusception. Lobstein mentions a peasant woman of about thirty who was suddenly seized with an attack of intussusception of the bowel, and was apparently in a moribund condition when she had a copious stool, in which she evacuated three feet of bowel with the mesentery attached.

At that moment, when eye drew eye, heart warmed to heart, and lips trembled to meet, Jerry Boyle coughed as if blood were mounting to his throat and cutting off his life. Dr. Slavens was at his side in a moment. It must have been the strangulation of an uneasy dream, for there was no symptom of hemorrhage.

"How do you know that?"
