Lizard Alive In His Throat.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 7, 1913:
Coughed It Up and Now Getting Well After Two Years.
Special to The New York Times.
    LAFAYETTE, N. J., Jan. 6.—Evan Jones, who is beginning to recover from a cough that has made his life miserable for the past two years, says the cause was nothing less than a lizard three inches long.
    Jones declared to-day that he brought up the reptile while out driving the other day. He had a paroxysm of coughing on the road. At the end of it he choked, he said, and reached down his throat for relief. He seized the lizard and drew it to the light of day.
    The agony of coughing that Jones endured is ascribed to the frantic efforts of the lizard to liberate itself.
