The small fragments Of bone and the

are the pathological facts which could

have qeen carried Tor many years with
out causing death or even inconvenience.
There were no possible means TO know
the situation of the ball during life, as
It gave no indications of its presence
nor could il possibly hass been reached
and recognized by any form of surgical
probe. That death would have been
the immediate and inevitable result Of
any such daring adventure Is almost
absolutely certain. cannot believe
that one intelligent person will here
after thinl that at any period in the
process of the case the ball or frag-
ments of bone which il sent before 1t
could have been successfully removed.
for indeed any serious attempt In that
direction would have resulted in speedy
death. Viewing the case IN the light
of our present knowledge am pre-
pared to affirm that surgerT has no re
soarces by which the fatal f.salt could
have been averted.
