Remarkable lung tapping saves life in 1849 case
In Illinois a man with advanced consumption lived after doctors tapped his left lung. Dr Woodman inserted a silver needle and catheter through the sixth seventh ribs, draining thick matter. Over a year of tube treatments relieved symptoms and restored health, with the silver tube kept for future use.

Remarkable case of long term artificial lung drainage
An elderly man identified as Mr. B narrates a 13 year struggle with a decayed lung and persistent cough. After refusing surgery, he inserted a silver tube to drain matter and serum, reporting relief and ongoing discharge. Despite setbacks, doctors hope continued drainage may yield healing while cautioning about discomfort and weakness.
