Among so many men there are sure to be times when prompt surgical assistance was de- manded, and to hesitate was to be lost, as far as the patient was concerned. I encountered the most re- markable case in my amateur practice a short tiir. E after Dare was shot. We had received a tall, ath- letic negro from west Florida, and for two or thice months he worked steadily in the woods, never mak- ing any complaints. Then he came to me one morn- ing and said that a swelling had suddenly appeared in h...is chest and gave him a good deal of pain. I examined him and found a lump near the left nip- ple. It seemed to need lancing and in the course of the morning I laid it open. To my surprise my blade encountered a hard substance, too firml)- im- bedded for me to remove, and apparently a piece THE AMERICAN SIBERIA 285 Of metal. Thereupon I questioned the negro closely and elicited the fact that upward of eighteen months before, he had got into a fight and was stabbed in the back, near the left shoulder-blade.
