PRoF. BELLS electrical experiment
to determine the exact location of the bulle
in the Presidents body have been reason
ably successful. On the LIST two tests wer
made, the first by Prof. Bell, and the sec

resulting the same. 1t is now certain that i
is located at a point within five inches of tn
surface, four and a half INCHES TO the RICH
and below the navel, and just above the groin
The physicians claim that this undeniabl,
establishes the correctness of their origina
theory as to the location Of the ball. Their,

be within five inches, because the limit OF
the machine is fixed at that distance; it is
possible, however, that it may be only two
inches beneath the surface. According to
the surgeons, however, it can make very
little difference whether it is two or five, 80
that il is soundly imbeded and encysted.
As long no Inconvenience results from
the location, no attempt will be made to ex-
tract the ball. The Improvement in the
Presidents condition continued, and DR..
