He died of phthisis at fourteen, and after death there was found in a pocket lying against the transverse colon and communicating with it all the evidences of a fetus.
Such are the materials, and the style of this expanded nightmare: And as we can plainly perceive, among a certain class of writers, a disposition to haunt us with similar apparitions, and to describe them with a corresponding tumor of words, we conceive it high time to step forward and abate a nuisance which threatens to become a besetting evil, unless checked in its outset.
"Were you always successful?" "Yes; in every instance." Mr. Carlton breathed more freely. After a pause, he said, his lips growing white as he spoke: "There will have to be an operation in this case?" "It cannot, I fear, be avoided," replied the doctor.

I then asked her if she would trust the Lord to remove this tumor and restore her to health and to her missionary work. She replied, "I am willing to trust the Lord for it." I then knelt and anointed her with oil in the name of the Lord, asking Him to fulfill his own word. Soon after I left she got up and walked three miles.
Fanton-Touvet, however, gives an example of a supernumerary tooth implanted in the palatine arch.

INTESTINAL WORMS OF SHEEP. The most widely distributed and seemingly most injurious intestinal worm of sheep is the OEsopliagostomum columbianum. It penetrates the lining membrane of the intestines and encysts in the intestinal wall. A tumor, varying in size from that of a millet seed to a hazelnut, then forms in the wall of the intestine.
