President case Tor The Mccdi R,rordat the house OF
Dr. Gcorg" T. Shrady OF ;his city, sad tot TRIBUNE
reporter last evening that he had no doubt the
medical profess, would be satisfied from his report
that the treatment of the case could not have been
different from what II had been.
9Th" Presidents wound was mortal" said he
Z" and any attempt to remove the bail would have
resulted Totally at once The only way to remove
the ball was by cutting down the abdomen, lifting
up the stomach and searching Tor IT, or We might
have cut through the back sawed through rib. or
have done something else equally futile. As We did
not know where the bail was. It would have
been wild PLAN The bali was enc"sted. and so
was not an important factor Again. even If no
particles Of bone had been carried forward into the
soft parts of the body the injury 10 the vcrtebr N
would have produced fatal results carrie, roitcn-
ness the bone would have resulted. and the dc
strucive processes attending IL would have extend
ed 10 the spinal cord, producing permanent pHIay-
sis with all its concomltant evils Aud then II the
President had survived sufficiently long pS"as alb
sccss would have result ~. II the pau
had been removed promptly without serious surg-
cal interference, death would have resulted. In the
light of the autopsy, IL was fortunate no serious
ATTEMPT was made for exploration, Tor by
the conservative course pursued the greatest com
fort was secured for the President, and hs lie pre-
served the longest possible period. Is for dccrmn
ing the course of the ball. DR.. Wales and myself
both tested it al first with the finger, but we were
stopped by the brok,d rib
Dr. Bliss sad ne surgeons placed no reH-
ance upon Prof Bells instrument. The

no re- lance could lee placed upon IT,. This
Dr. Bliss has lie declared positively that he
had been fully sustained from the beginning by the
pleasures Of his professional career 10 have been as
