the pns discharge was OF a healthy charsc-
Ear no ~ A no
flexible tube used 10 wash out the wound
a. each dressing readily followed the track
OF the ball TO the depth OF three and a bali
or four inches. At the dressings, however,
small quantity OF healthy pus came, as
was believed, from psrt Of the
track beyond this point, either spon-
iancously or after gentle pressure
over anterior surface OF the right ilhac
region, but this deeper part OF The track
Was not reached by the tube until yester-
day morning, when the separation Of a
small slough permitted It 10 pass unre-
sisted downward and forward for a dis
tsnce OF twelve and one-half inches from
the external surface OF the last lncision.
This facilitates the drainage and cleaning OF
the deeper paris OF the wound, but hiss not
been followed by an Increase in quantity Of
pus discharged. A large pus cavity which
had formed IN the immediate vicinity OF the
broken rib is filing up with healthy granu-
lafi0ns, aud the original wound OF entrance
a far Is that cavity has healed.
