Sneezed Out a War Souvenir.
After carrying a bullet in his head for nearly fifty years, or ever since the battle of Gettysburg, Calvin Cook, a Confederate soldier living in Catawba County, N. C., has sneezed from his nose a leaden pellet commonly called “buckshot.” He was wounded in the head at Gettysburg and eventually recovered from the wound, only to be troubled many years by what was designated as some sort of growth in his nasal passages. During a recent sneezing fit he “blew” his nose with uncommon vigor, and out rolled his souvenir of the greatest battle of the Civil War. His nasal trouble vanished when the “growth” rolled out.
