Tjamb, of the Army Medial Museum, Wash ington. ' Tne - operation was per-1 formed by Dr. Lamb. ;It was found that the ball, after fracturing, -the right eleventh rib, j' and ( passed througa tne spinal column m iront of the spinal canal, fracturing the body of the first iumbar vertebra, driving a number of , Smalt fragmenls of bone into the adjacent soft parts and lodging below - the pancreas about two inches and a half to the left of tho spine and behind the peri toneum, where it. Jiatl became com pletely -encysted- i j The. immediate cause of death as-l--seclklary-! hmf orzhage from bile 'of the rrhseriteiie arteries adjoining ; ' the! , traclr 'of the ball, the bloecl. rupiuringfhe peritoneum and nearly a. pint, escap ing into the abdominal cavity. This hemorrhage is believed to have been the cause of the severe pain in the ower part of the chest complained of just before death. An abscess cavity, six inches ; by four, in dimensions, was found in the vicinity of the gall bladder, between the liver and the transverse colon, which was strongly adherent. It did not invoWethe substance, of the liver and no communication was found between it and the wound. ' A ong suppurating channel extended from the external wound, between the loin muscles, and the right kid ney; nlmost tx the right groin. This channel, now known to be due to xae burrowing of pus from the wound, was Eupposed during life to have been the track of the ball. On an examination of the organs of the chest evidences of severe bron ehitis were found on both sides, with broncho-pneumonia of the lower portions of the right lung and. though to a much less extent, of the eft. The lungs contained no absces . . . . . i j. m I ses ana tue nean no ciots. me 1 I.u lx liver was cmargea ana iaicy, out free from abscesses. Nor were aiay- bund in any other-organ except the eft kidney, which contained near its Enrface a small abscess about one third of an inch in diameter. In reviewing the history of the case in connection witli the, autopsy it is a uito evident, that the 'it supperating surfaces, and especiiliy4 . . . , a: C ... I the iracturea, spougy hub uj. tuo vertebra, furnish a sufficient 'expla tion of the septic condition which existed. ' i D. W. Bliss, J. K. Babsbs, I J. J. Woodward, i SOBEET IixTBUKS, ! Fbajtk H.

IlAMB. rit is evident from the result of the autopsy that tne character oi tne wound was not clearly unaeraiooa during life: It seems also . evident ihat no human skill could have averted the fatal, result of the case. The pancreas, near which the ball was found, is an oblong gland analo gous in . structure r tne salivary elands, which is situated across the posterior wall of the abdomon.! It is about six or eight inches long and extends from near the lower orifice of the. stomach to the spleen, just' over the left kidney.: It secrets one of the various digestive fluids, wnich, enters thet intestine along with , the bile froin the hver. 'It is surrounded by . numerous important ' blood veS sels, being supplied with blood partly frem one of the mesenteric arteries above alluded to. i It will be observed that the general direction of. the ball coincides with the opinion of Dr. , Agn'ew reported ?ome weeks ago. in the Tunes, .but ;tne.".irac.rure oi cne vertebra does not appe'ar-tc have been indicated by any dehuite symptomd. j The sun rose on a peaceful -scene around the cottage of death. There was a haze out at sea, in the early inornhig, which vanished: gradually, as the 'shining orb crept into sight ihrowing long iridescent beams "to mark its coming.
