The surgeons at Washington performed an
operation on Gen. Tower, last Monday, by
wlalch 1attened fragment of bullet was ex-
tracted from his leg. The main portion of the
ball was extracted after the second Bull Run
battle, but his wound refusing to heal, his
physician concluded that some portion of it
was left. Surgeon Clymer applied the probe
invented by the French surgeon, Nela-
ton, to meet Garibaldi's case, and found a
piece of lead an inch long, and half an inch
wide, the ragged and irregular edges flattened
against the bone. The end of the probe is
armed with knob of bisque or glazed por-
celain, which is constantly marked when
brought in contact with lead. By the aid
of this instrument surgeon Clymer ascer-
tanned the location of the fragment and ex-
tracted it successfully.
