Rapidly Recovering from the Effects OF the
Delicate Surgical Operation.
The operation which was performed on Com
mandeT-in- Chief Adams was undoubtedly the
best step ever made. When the General was
taken down at Lynn they simply made an ill.,
eisiOH TO let the matter out, but the Chicago
doctors went clear to the bottom, and took out
bits of bone which they said bad been slowly
decODPosing for 10 or 20 years, the wonder
being that the General had not died of blood
poisoning years ago. 1t has always been sup
posed, from what the former Surgeons said, that
the General bad bullet still in him, but the
doctors in Chicago could find no bullet at ALL
and they went clear TO the bottom of the wound
The sore was not caused by any jagged parts
Of the bone rubbing against each other. 1t was
cavity, which healed on the outside and left
them TO rot within. he was shot the first
time in the groin, and when he turned he
got the second bullet in the back, right above
the bip. This ball WAS the one that was sup
posed to have remained in him, as the other
went through but the doctors in Chicago state
that in ali probability the second shot passed
out of the Orifce that the first had made At
any rate they could find 10 trace OF il. The
only anxiety now is TO completely drain off tae
puss. and the only difficulty is he tendency of
the wound TO heal before the doctors arc ready
90 have it. Unless something not now foreseen
should set IN, the Commander-in-C Chief will be
ready to start for home in about 10 days.
