4 PHYSICIANS HOPE.
TO ne Editor OF The Tribune

TO ne Editor of The Tribune.
SIR: From the contradictory character of the
statements of the medical men who have examined
President Garfield, and from the negative charac ter
of such positive symptoms as have been reported it
would seem that his danger is not great we
might at first believe. 1t is the opinion of largo
number of intelligent medical men of this city that
neither the liver any other vital part has been
wounded. Thisis borne out by the fact that beyond
the first shock there have been material changes
either in temperature, pulse respiration. TIL
changes that might affect the former are the most
important indications either OF shock perioniis,
but the body heat has not risen above 1O10 and Il
fraction.
The most probable explanation Of President
Garheld's wound is that the bullet took
an upward and inward conrse, and lodged
in the dense tissues a out the spinal column.
This injury would account for the pain in
the legs and feet, and it would be difficult 10
account for the pain in any other way No man il,-
lured in the manner claimed by the medical wit
hesses would live so long without any accession OF
really unfav orabe symptoms. Md
