The victim took medicine by the
'quart and was enable to improve and
fistally tried a course of treatment
unider an osteopath, yith the result
that the latter soon brought the lizard
to the light of day. The animal was
about four inches long and was alive
at the time. How Boyle got the lizard
in, his stomach is a sijystery, but Dr'
Gray ventured the opinion that lBoyld
drank polluted water and that the
egg of a lizard was in this water, the
egg later hatching and growing in the
ran's stomach and causing the
trouble.
Boyle iwas unable to eat a hearty
mal andi suffered constant discom
fort. As soon as he rid himself of
the animal his condition improved
and he could stand any diet. Cases
such as this are reported to be rare in
medical science and that Boyle did
not suffer even greater pain and dis
comfort is a surprise. It is believed
'that the lizard made his home with
'Boyle for five years, Ihe duration of
'the trouble.
The little animal had been preserved
