CASE.—Private Reuben Lysle, Co. I, 148th Pennsylvania Volunteers, was wounded at the battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia, May 3d, 1863, by a piece of shell, which fractured and depressed both tables of the cranium. Surgeon C. S.

For several weeks he was treated in the 1st division, Second Corps, field hospital, and on June 14th, admitted into Carver Hospital, Washington. On the 16th, he was transferred to West's Building Hospital, Baltimore, and thence, on July 4th, to the general hospital, Point Lookout, Maryland. He recovered and was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps, June 28th, 1864. The case is reported by the operator, Surgeon C. S. Wood, U. S. V. The patient's name does not appear upon the Pension List.
