Wounds from Large Bullets.

The fact that Guiteau. the assassin.
used large bullet. instead of "A common
sized one. is very much III the Presidents
favor. Many people, not versed in sci
encc. do not realize that the small ball is
/ more dangerous than the large. They
call it strange that harm can come OF the
insignificant bits of lead carried by our
small pocket pistols. The fact is, rs
stated, however. and the reason is stint
pie. In the first place. musket ball
wounds are less dreaded by surgeons
than pistol ball wounds because the
muskct balls are more apt to go clear
, through. The worst thing to happen is
a ball GO lodge, for the presence Of the
foreign substance causes inflammation,
fonl gatherings and discharges and blood
poisoning. SO, carrying the comparison
along. 4 large pistol ball is more likely
to go through than a small one. Hence
it is less dangerous. It's only increase of
gives it greater opportunity to cut an
artery. If it does not do this its chances
of mischief are less than if it were
smaller. If it does make that cut. death
comes at once from bleeding But the
large bullet has not gone clear through
President Gariicld's body, and ST. the cx-
PLANTATION of its teSSened danger might
not seem TO apply. but it does. Tie
larger the ball the larger the hole it
makes on its way in. This facilitates
the discharges of the wound very much
There is greater opportunity for the
affected spot to get rid of its own evils
and SO to heal. This factor is worth con-
siderable in the opinion of skilltul ply
Sicians. and is all in the President favor.
Thus it happens that the cold-blooded
design of making the work thorough by
the use of large bullet may prove the
one condition on which recovery is posi-
bic. \ leading surgeon in Connecticut
has i'll his possession Il pistol ball scarcely
larger than 4 buck shot which killed
man; and yet he treated soldier. now
alive and well. through whom half
pound ball made il clean hole. going in
In this case the hole was So large that
the wound took care of itself and cured.
In the other the hole was so small that
the accumulated matter could not escape.
