Excerpt from Canada Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 4: December, 1875 The patient wore a heavy cloth double breasted vest a hole was blown through this vest of three inches in diameter, and a button, a composition perforated button I mean without the old-fashioned metal shank - and which had occupied a position represented by a point not far from the centre of this hole and which, moreover, Mr. MCC.
