Massy strange. things have 'been,
recorded :about the human body and
one of extraordinary interest leap
petted to an Exeter man last week
When a :three-inch darning needle
was taken from the body of Mr. S.
J. Elliott, of town, •by Dr. Dtin1PV.
The needle is now on exhibition in
Dr, Dunlop's office. How Such a
lengthy and sharp lustrurueet could'
pass through tile stomach and .other.
organs of the body evidently with-
out doing .any injury is a mystery.
Mr. Elliott for .several days' last
weeki did not feel well and .consult-
ed the (looter wile after: giving him'
a thorough examination discovered
and dislodged the darning needle,
Mr, Elliott.' does not remeuiber of
even leaving swallowed the needle
and jokingly remarked. that it might
have gone down semmetiine when he
was drinking i:rotn a bottle. Tile
needle must have been in the sys-
tem for years. About five years ago
he .suffered similiarly to what he
did last week and he now • thinks
that the darning needle was the
cause. At any rate he is mighty.
glad to get rid of the needle.
