D1U HAMILTON EXI'LAINH.
Medical terms nro dufmito and exact
act and have nothing exactly corresponding
pending to them in ordinary language
I will state it as fairly as I can nnd i
you arc going to quote mo you inn ;
say this simply : The ball entered tin
body through the eleventh rib , break
ing it , and about fuur , inches m iron
of liiH-snino. It was then turnoi
downwards towards the hips inside o
the Hush , which composes the loins
but back of the liver , kidney nnd in
testines nnd probably now lies jus
within the bares constituting thu pel
vis about five inches above- the groin
The doctor in his willingness to explain
plain the course of tlio ball and it
present location placed his finger at thi
uoint n little above the right scan
of his \cst buckle belt as m
entrance point. Frum that spot tin
course of the ball was downward am
forward amongst the muscles of th
back and side. It now lies in th
right surface of the body about parallc
with the top of the trousers pocko
and about an inch to the left' ' of th
upper hip bone and about two inche
below the surface. "There , " said th
surgeon , as lip thrust his tinker in n
the point indicated as nearly as pot
siblo and which is immediately ncx
the rounded top f--tlie bono .on
direct line from the navel , "is wher
wo believe the b.tll to bo and there i
where some of the physicians wer
almost positive they could fuel it. "
