Locating Lead in the Body by Electricity.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
In last Sundays Capital. is an editorial headed
''The Fatal Mistake" on which will you be so
kind as to permit me to offer the following re-
marks:
1t is well known to every intelligent surgeon
In the country that probing failed inglOriOusy
in locating the ball in our suffering Presidents
body. simply because tortuous course cannot
be followed by any known probe and is always
dangerous if persisted in.
The present supposed position of the ball was
not positively discovered until too late to be
proved by the probe, and to have cut for the ball
on the uncertain knowledge is what no surgeon
would undertake. In 1875 had the honor of
discovering that lead could be located in living
human body by electricity, of which have the
positive proof now before me In two letters
from editors of professional journals and which
discovery had demonstrated at that time. Fail
ing in my efforts to obtain an interview with
either OF our city surgeons in charge, on the
10th of July addressed letter to two of
them, saying II could locate the ball in the
Presidents body if they desired, without prob
ing"
To those letters l have received no ans,rer.
Some time afterwards wrote to another of the
surgeons, stating that l ''could verify the
present supposed location if he DESIRED" but
at this time the condition was SO critical he was
entirely eXcusable perhaps in forgetting it's re-
ceipt. Through the courtesy of DR.. Basil
Norris, surgeon U .S.A., and DR.. D. L. Huntington.
U.S.A., and surgeon in charge of Old Soldier
Home, l have had the opportunity of demon
stratIng the utility of the discovery in three
different cases, report of which will be published
soon in the medical, surgical and dental
journals of the day.

Two Instances of Remarkable Recovery.

From the Springfield Republican,.
The Prince of Wales. when he lay sick of ty-
phoid fever ten years ago, began to mend the
Sunday on which the doctors declared him as
past hope and which had been selected as a day
of prayer in the United Kingdom for his recov-
cry. Charles O'Conor. six years ago. was given
up by his doctors who left his bedside and pro-
nounced him past hope and recovery; but the
old man of seventy-fOur rallied. even after the
closing rites Of the church had been performed
and the consecrated water placed in his mouth.
and called for what he had long been begging a
pear, ate it and is alive to-day.

The White House Surgeons.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
1t seems to me there is desire on the part of
some to use the devoted wife of our stricken
President as sort of artistic antithesis to the
surgeons who have SO sklfully, and with so
much faithfulness, ministered to the noble
sufferer during SO many weary days and nights.
No one can appreciate more highly than the
writer does the Christian fOrtitude and faith of
this heroic lady, who has shed such luster on
pure, sweet wOmanhOOd. But l believe the
inherent brightness of her character needs not
the use of a sOmbre background, wrought from
tints, rejecting not only the serious apprehen-
siOns, on that dark Friday, of the Presidents
physicians. but of the whole American people.
excepting, of course, the abiding inspiration of
the Guardian Angel of the White House. It is
easy for us all to sit injudement on men and topics
we know little or nothing about The critics
CHAIR, nowadays. requires no knowledge from
Its occupants. 1t is cheap and easily filled, and
many there be who fill it, But, as one who has
resided upwards of twenty years in this District
and who has had during that time opportunities
OF learning of the eminent surgical ability of
some of the local surgeons of the President. and
OF hearing of the skill Of those associated with
them in the case, feel as Clergyman though
not related to any of these gentlemen

OF responsibility devoved upon them. and to
