by equally capable general surgeons.
1t is perfectly certain that there was
no technical fault in the operation,
and 1t would have verged on madness
to prolong the search for the bullet
after it had been ascertained that 1t
had not inflicted any very grave in
jury beyond that of the stomach-as-
certained, that is to say, within the
limitations of warrantable efforts.
1.-THE operation having been finished
without seriously taxing the distin-
guished patients vital powers, there
followed at least five days of freedom
from serious symptoms. This we say
with full appreciation of the fact that
the record of the pulse and respiration
seemed ominous, for the high rate
might have been due to any of num-
Der of conditions not in themselves of
grave import. The hopeful view was
, taken, and quite naturally, that 1T
could be so explained.
1T is easy to be wise after the event,
and to say that in this respect the sur
geons were i'm error; err they certainly
did, as the result shows, but to err in
such a way argues no incapacity or
avoidable lack of judgment-it simply,
we repeat, Illustrates the 1dcI tndt tne
medical man is not a perfect being
"Gangrene was probably established
two or three days before the fatal is
sue followed, but II could hardly have
occurred very early without giving rise
to more disquieting phenomena than
augmentation of the pulse and respira-
ton rates, which, as we have said be-
fore, might well have been due TO some
comparatively unimportant disturb
ance. To the wound of the kidney we
attribute little importance further than
arises from the fact that 1t made one
more traumatie surface to become gan
grenous There is said to have been a
trifling degree of haematuria of brief
duration, but not enough to indicate a
very serious renal lesion.
"The case of the profoundly lament
ed President may be set down as
unique in some of it's features, not so
much, perhaps, as regards the actual
traumatisn1 inflicted by the assassin S
bullet as with regard to the deferred
appearance of the gangrenous process
that blotted out his fair prospects Of
recovery"
