STRANGE SUBSTANCES FOUND IN THE HUMAN BODY.

A patient of the hospital of Lisle complained in 168.6
of a sharp pain of the lower belly, in the hypogastric re-
gion. He had a tumour, inflammation, amt pulsation,
accompanied by fever; all symptoms denoting an al>
cess. Hachi'n and Gelle, the one physician and the
other surgeon to the hospital, made an incision of six
fingers above the navel. The pus, which flowed freely,
was of a very ill scent; it run during several months, and
the patient died.—On opening the body, a pin was found,
attached to the right ureter, and encrusted with tarta-
reous matter.
On the 31st of July, 1802, a stick of a very extraor-,
dinafy size,measuring 201 inches in length, and 2| in cir-
cumference, was taken out of the side of an ox a little
behind the near shoulder, and not far from the back bone,
in the presence of John Beck, farrier; John Smith, ser-,
vant; and Edward Jones, Esq. of Brackley, the owner of
the ox, in whose possession it had been since the 6th of
April last, having been bought the preceding day at
Northampton fair. The dx, when bought, had a sore place
on its back, through which the stick afterwards forced a
passage ; it did not thrive before the stick was taken out,
and had been long under the farrier’s hands, but is now in
good health and’getting fat. The stick has the appear-
ance of a common walking stick, but is pointed at one
end: possibly it mav have been used for the purpose of
giving the ox a ball, and through carelessness have slip-
