CASE 41.—Private Theodore Lozar, Co. H, 15th New Jersey, shot, at the battle of Chancellorsville, May 3, 1863. A conoidal musket ball entered at the cartilage opposite the left external rib and lodged. The man was conveyed to Washington, and entered Douglas Hospital on May 7th. On May 11th, Assistant Surgeon W. Thomson, U. S. A., discovered the projectile (FIG. 4) in the right transverse muscle, opposite the wound of entrance, and removed it through a counter incision. The patient contracted variola, and was transferred to Kalorama Hospital on June 7, 1863, where he died July 19, 1863, with pyæmic complications.
