Extraordinary Physical Derangement.

A day or two ago a man died, who had been for some months an inmate of one of the Cincinnati hospitals, and whose disease had exhibited such peculiar and unknown symptoms as to baffle the greatest skill of the best physicians. Under the circumstances it was deemed advisable to make a post mortem examination, when it was found that in the diaphragm was a large hole, and that the intestines had been forced up, and had pressed the heart from its natural position over to the right side of his body, where it had performed its functions for several years; the man himself having been prevented from his daily labor only for the last few months. How the patient could have survived such a length of time with such a subverted system is marvelous, and is the first instance of the kind that has come to the knowledge of the medical profession. Poor fellow, whatever may have been his defects, no one could say his heart was not in the right place.
