A NEW BULLET EXTRACTOR.

1t is said that an instrument has beea
constructed in England which promises
to dispense with much of the difficulties
and suffering attendant upon the process
OF extracting bullets from wounds. There
are excellent opportunities in the Orimes
Tor proving its usefulness, and we NAV,
therefore, presume tha; its merits, or its
want of them, will be established imme-
dlately: The following is q description
of the instrument:
The contriyance consists of small air.
pump and cylinder, to which q tap is af.
fixed. 10 the tap is attached a suitable
length Of flexible tubing about quarter
OF an inch in diameter, lined inside with
silver wire TO prevent its cellapsing. At
the other end of this tube there is q small
globe, from which . tube sufficiently
minute to pass into . bullet wound is
hxed, the end terminating with an India
rubber collar. On the top of the globe
there is small tap, in order to permit q
probe 10 pass down the tube, to sound
when on the bullet. The mode of ODER.
atlng is this: A vacuum is created in the
cylinder, the tube before alluded to il
passed into the wound, and when it is
ascertained to be on the ball the tap in
the cylinder lie opened, when the bullet
becomes fixed to the tube by the vacuum
thus created, and is thus withdrawn.
The great merit Of this invention con-
slsts In its obviatiug the necessity for the
painful and dangerous operation Of cut
tlng out bullets, and by its means q med
ical man, with the and of an assistant to
work out the air-pump, would be able to
accomplish the work which now occupies
many surgeons. When the cylinder 10
once exhausted. it would extract several
bullets without the necessity Of again
wsrking the air-pump. The Medical
Board has given directions to an eminent
instrument maker to f1 up On appsra-
tus.
