President Garfeld's wound, says: ga por-
ton Of the dress may have been carried into
the wound, and each abscess that forms is
not only direct source of danger from the
pain and fever, and the danger of its spread
ing deeply, but with each there is fresh
liability Of blood poisoning. 1t is quite i'm

hear of another abscess or relapse, and it is
of great importance that the patients con-
stitutional vigor should be maintained at as
high pitch rs possible in view Of future
troubles. The absence of fever and exhaus-
ton removes any cause for immediate alarm,
but until the wound is quite healed and the
bullet either removed or safely encysted,
there will be liability to recurring abscesses,
each attended with the risk of blood poison
