by g pistol-shot,E the bullet entering

bruising the coats of the artery about
two iaohes below lbs exit from under

the artery and nerve. The wound was
enlarged sufficient to expose the
sheath of the artery but it was thought
best to run the risk of the coats of the
artery slonghings than 10 igate it. The
wound hesledE kindly. but q putting

in that location, showing the
of an sneurism at that point.
