Have 'ee killed him? why, I saw him alive not two minutes " His speech was cut short by a loud roar, as the buffalo he had been in chase of, scared by the approach of Wilkins, burst through the underwood and charged down on the whole party. They fled right and left, but as the brute passed, Wilkins, from the other side of the open, fired at it and put a ball in just behind the shoulder-blade.
Anderson's ball for it was Job that shot him first had broken his shoulder-blade and touched the lung, not badly; the second had only torn and displaced some muscles in the calf. He was sure to recover, the doctor said, but in the meantime, and for weeks to come, he must not walk nor move his arm, nor so much as speak when he could help it.
"Jist his style," continued Jack dejectedly. "Never be worth a dash for general" I lost the next word or two, for the young fellow's face was buried in the mass of silver mane, as the horse reared rampant to the balancing point; and the next word, again, was dislocated by a blow from the crupper buckle, just below the speaker's shoulder-blade.

"Suppose a gnat should break his shoulder-blade," I said, "would they put his wing in a sling?" Bhima Gandharva looked me full in the face, and, smiling gently, said, "They would if they could." The Jains are considered to have been the architects par excellence of India, and there are many monuments, in all styles, of their skill in this kind.
For Smith's cartridge-belts were full. He came back from the knoll breathless. "Smith's living," he cried. "Come on," Billy Dixon bade him and the two went back to the summit. "I can walk if you two hold me up," Private George Smith whispered. A bullet had passed through his lungs and when he breathed the air whistled from a hole beneath his shoulder-blade.
Leeches to the chest may usually be put on just under the shoulder-blade; and leeches to the head on one or other side behind the ear, where they will be out of the way of any large vein, and where the pressure of the finger will easily stop the bleeding.
