this morning an operation was performed
on the President with view to reach and
open the abscess which was forming in the

with the line of the back. In other words,
when the probe was introduced into the |
wound to the depth of three or three and |
half inches, its direction was such that it's |
inner end was only about au inch and a
half from the outside of the body, at a |
point lower down. The examination, which
was made in the presence of Drs. Agnew
and Hamilton this morning, showed that u |
pus cavity had formed in the track of the |
ball, and that this cavity could be reached
by direct incisou three inches below tho |
mouth of the wound. 1t was decided at
once to perform the operation. No anesth.

upon was benumbed by a spray Of ether,
and wide cut was made into the pus
cavity, which was reached at depth of |
little more than an inch with the aid of a |
probe and pair Of forceps The drainage
tube, which is small flexible tube of rub
Der, perforated with holes, was then intro
duced into the wound made by the ball,
