New YORK, October 5.-The re-
port of the case of President Gar
field by DIR. Bliss, 10 be published
i'm the forthcoming number of the
Medical Record, occupies over six
pages of that journal. He concludes
his history OF the case rs follows:
Z" L desire to say, in this brief review
of the leading facts as to the gen.
eral conduct of the case, that it has
boon apparent to the medical reader
that my prognosis was favorable,
and, Notwithstanding imputations,
| argued q successful termination.
IL is but justice to myself TO state
that my prognosis was based upon
lesion of minor importance. Had
our diagnosis been correct, modern
surgery should have conducted the
case to successful termination. /
believe the medical profession
whom L address will bear me out
that the prognosis was correct, if
the diagnosis was also correct.
L was not always able during the
progress of the case to account for
many of the more profound symp-
toms, and yet could not succeed in
learning OF any more extensive or
complicated LESSONS than were at
first suspected.
He makes inquiry of the profess
sion as 10 whether a more extensive
na.,lI L..
made, or whether his condition pre-
vented knowledge of the relative
position of the patient to the assas-
sin, and whether the condition of
the lesion and symptoms which fol-
low would have directed an investi-
CATION toward the actual track and
loGgment of the ball also whether
if any known instrument or means
of exploration has ever been pre-
sented to the profession capable of
tracing, before tho death Of the said
patient, the course of this bullet;
also whether his condition could
have been improved or mitigated,
or his life preserved longer, by an
other line of treatment.
DIR. G.. +. Brady, surgeon to the
Presbyterian and st. Francis hos
pital in this city, says that from q
careful study the symptoms in con-
nection with the examination OF the
autopsied lesions.. the conclusion
seems inevitable that the case was
one which, commencing as a milder
form of septicamia, gradually de-
veloped to graver form, or what
is generally understood as chronic
pyaemia.
DIR. f. ID. Weiss, professor of sur
gical ANATOMY in the university Of
New York, closes his review with
the statement that there were sufIi-
cient grounds TO warrant the dag
nosis that was arrived at and main
tained up to thetime of the death OF
the patient, especially so in The alb
sence of any evidence that the ball
had taken a different course.
