J 8 THE WEEKLY COXSTITUTOK, OCTOBER 4, 1881 THE AUTOPSY ANALYZED BY THE SUR'IEONS WHO CON DUCTED THE OPERATION. An OSe???.al Report Rendered by Use Barg eon*. In Which the Results of the Autopsy are Fully Traced???The Course of the Ball???The Real Cause of the Victim's Death. Fiiiudeuhu, October 1.???The American Jour nal of Medical Sciences contains the official report of the autopsy of President Garfield, prepared by the surgeons in charge. A fter stating that a con sultation was held and the mode of procedure adopted, the report my* the examination was then proceeded with, and the following external appear ances were observed: The body was considerably emaciated, but the face was much less wasted than the limbs. A preservative fluid hud liecn injected by the ombalmcr a few hours before into the left femoral artcrj- The pipes used for the purpose ???ere still in position. The anterior surface of the body presented no abnormal appearances, and there trus no ecchyinosis or other discoloration of any part of the front of the abdomen Just below the right ear, and a little behind it, there was an oval ulcerated opening about half an Inch in diameter, from which some sations pus was escaping, but no tumefaction could be observed in the jmrotid region. A son.siileruble number of pur pura-like spots were scattered thickly over the left scapula, and thence forward as far as the axilla. They ranged front one- cighth to one-fourth of an inch in diameter, were slightly elevated and furfuraceous on the sur face, and many oi them were confluent in groups of two to four or more. A similar but much less abun dant eruption was observed sparsely scattered over the corresponding region on the right side. An oval excavated ulcer about an inch long, the result of a small carbuncle, was seated over the spinous pro cess of the tenth dorsal vertibra. Over the sacrum there were four small bad sores, the largest about half an inch iu diameter. A few acne pustulcsnnda number of irregular spots of post mortem hypostatic congestion were scattered over the shoulders, back and buttocks. The inferior part of the scrotum was much discolored by hypos tatic congestion. A group of hemorrhoidal tumors, rather larger than a walnut, protruded from the anus. The depressed cicatrix of the wound made by the pistol bullet was recog nized over the tenth intercostal space three and a half inches to the right of the ver tebral spines. The deep linear incision made in parthy the operation of July 21th, and extended by that of August 8th, occupied a position closely cor responding to the upper border of the right twelfth rib. It commenced jiosterioriy about two inches from the vertebral spines, and extended forward a little more than three inches. At the anterior ex tremity of this incision there was a deep, nearly square, abraded surface, about an inch across. A well died, flexible catheter, fourteen inches long, was then passed into this wound, as had been done to wash it out during life. More resistance was at first encountered than had usually been the casc, but after several trials the catheter entered without any violence to Its full length. It WATthcn left in posi tion, and the lrody disposed supinely for an exami nation of the viscera. The cranium was not epeued. A long incision was made from the superior extremity of the sternum to the pubis, followed by a transverse incision, crossing the abdomen just below the um- billieus. Four flaps just lormcd, were turned back, and the abdominal viscera exposed. The subcu taneous adipose tissue divided by the incision was a little more thun one eighth of an inch thick over the thorax, but was thicker over the abdomen, being about a quarter of an inch along the linear alba, and as much as onc-half inch thicker toward the ou ter edge of the transverse incision. On inspec tion of the abdominal viscera in situ, the transverse colon was observed to lie a little above the line of the umbillicus. It was firmly adherent to the an terior edge of the liver. The greater omenutum covered the intestines pretty thoroughly from the transverse colon almost to the pubis. It was still quite fat, and was very much blackened by venous congestion, on both aides. Its lateral margins were adherent to the ab dominal parictics opposite the eleventh and twelfth ribs. On the left side the ndbesions were nnmerous, firm, well organized and probably old. A foot note here says: ???These adhesions and the firm ones on the right side, as well os those of the spleen, possibly date back to an attack of chronic dysentery, from which the patient is said to have suffered during the civil war." Ou the right side there were a few similar adhesions, and a number of more delicate and probably recent ones. A mass of black coagulatcd.blood covered and congealed the spleen, and left the margin of the great omenutum. On raising the omenutum it was found that this blood mass extended through the lumbar and iliac regions, and dipped down into the pelvis in which there was some clotted blood, and rather more than a pint of blood. A foot note here says: ???A large part of this had probably transuded from the injected material of the cmbalmer.??? The blood coagulating had been turned out, and collected measured very nearly a pint. It was now evident that secondary hemorrhage had been the immediate cause of the death, but the point from ??? which the blood had escaped was not at onceapparcnt. The omenutum was not adherent to the intestines, which were moderately disturbed with gas. No intestinal adhesions were fgund other than those between the transverse colon and Uie liver already mentioned. The abdominal cavity being now washed out as thorouglily as possible, a fruitless attempt was made to obtain some indication of the position of the bullet before making any further incision, by pushing the intestines aside. The extremity of the catheter, which had been passed into the wound, could be felt between the peritoneum and the right iliac fascia, but it had evidently doubled upon itself, and although a prolonged search was made, nothing could be seen felt to indicate the presence of the bullet either in that region or elsewhere. The abdominal viscera were then carefully re moved from the body and placed in suitable ves sels and underwent an examination scriatum with the following result: The adhesions between the liver and transverse colon proved to bound an abscess cavity between the under surface of the liver, the transverse colon and the transverse meso colon, which involved the gall biad dcr and extended to about the same dis tance on each side of it, measuring six inches transversely, and four inches from before backward. This cavity was lined by a thick pigo- gcniac membrane, which completely replaced the capsule Of that part of the under surface of the liver occupied by the abscess. It contained about two ounces of greenish yellow fluid, a mixture of pus and biliary matter. This abscess did not in- TOlvc any portion of the substance of the liver, except the surface with which it was in contact, and no communication could be detected between it and any part of the wound. Some re cent peritoneal adhesions existed between the up per surface of the right lobe of the liver and the diaphragm. The liver was larger than normal, weighing eighty-four ounces. Its substance was firm, but a pale yellowish color on its surface and throughout the interior of the organ, from fatty de generation. No evi icnce that it had been penetrated by the bullet could be found, nor were there any abscess or .nfmotives in any part of its tissues. The spleen was connected to the diaphragm by firm, probably old. peritonea! adhesions. There were several rather deep congenital fissures in its margins, giving it a lobulatod appearance. It wasabnormally large. weighing eighteen ounces of very dark lake red color, both on the surface and on the sections. Its porenchyma was soft and flabby, but contained no abscesses or in fractions. There were some recent peritoneal adhe sions between the postered wall of the stomach, and the posterior abdomiual parites. With this cxcep lion no abnormities were discovered in the stomach or intestines, nor were any other evidences of gen eral or local peritonitis found besides those already specified. The right kidney weighed C ounces, the left kidney 7. Just beneath the cap sule of the left kidney, at about the middle of its convex border, there was a little abscess, one third of an inch in diameter. There were three small serous cysts on the convex border of the right kid ney just beneath its capsule. In other respects the tissue of both kidneys were normal in appearance and in texture. The urinary bladder was empty behind the right kid ney. The track of the bullet was dissected Into. It was found that from the point at which it had fractured the right eleventh rib three inches and a half to the right of the vertebral spines, the missile had gone to the left obliquely forward passing through the body of the first lumbar verte bra and lodging in the adipose connective tissu. immediately below the lower border of the pun- creas, about 2'/. inches to the left of the spinal column, and behind the peritoneum. It hud become completely encysted. The track of the bul let between the point at which it had fractured the eleventh rib, and that at which it entered the first lumbar vertebra, was considerably dilated, and the pus had burrowed downward through the adipose tissue behind the right kidney, and thence had found its way between the peritoneum and the right iliac fascia, making a descending channel, which extended to the groin. The adipose tissue behind the kidney, iu the vicinity of this descend ing channel, was much thickened and con densed by inflammation. In the chan nel which was found almost free from pus, lay the flexible catheter introduced into the wound at the commencement of the autopsy. Its extremity was found doubled upon itself immedi ately beneath the peritoreum, reposing upon the ilia fascia, where the channel was dilated Into a pouch of considerable size. This long descending channel was ulreudy seen to have been caused by the burrowing of the pus fron the wound, supposed during life to have been the track of the bullet. The last dbrsal. together with the first and second lumbar vertebra, and the twelfth rib, were then removed from the body for a more thorough examination. When this examination was made it was found that the bullet had penetrated the first lumbar vertebra In the upper part of the right side of its body. The aperature by which it entered involved the intervertebral cartilage next above, and was situated just below and anterior to the intervertebral foramen, from which its upper maa- gin was about one-quarter of an inch distant, passing obliquely to the left and for ward through the upper part of the body of the first lumbar vertebra. The ^bullet emerged by an aperture, the center of which was about half an inch to the left of the median line, and which also involved the intervertebral car tilage next above. The cancellated tissue of the body of the first lumbar vertebral wits very much communited, and the fragments were somewhat tiis- pluced. Several deep fissures extended from the track of the bullet into the lower part of the body of the twelfth dorsal vertebra. Others extended through the first lumbar Tertebra, into the inter vertebral cartilage, between it and the second lum bar vertebra. Both this cartilage and that next above, were possibly destroyed by ulceration. A number of minute fragments from the fiacturcd lumbar vertebra had been driven into the adjacent soft parts. It was further found that the right twelfth rib also was fractured at a point 1% inches to the right of the transverse process of the twelfth dorsal vertebra. This injury had pot been recognized during life. On sawing through the vertebra, a little to the right of the median line, it was found that the spinal column was not in volved by the track of the ball. Tbe spinal cord or other contents of thjs portion of spinal canal presented no abnormal appearances. The rest of the spinal cord was not examined. Beyond the first lumbar vertebra, the bullet continued to go to the left, passing bchiud the pancreas to the point where it was found, where it was enveloped in firm cyst of connective tissue, which contained besides the ball a minute quantity of inspicated, somewhat cheesy pus, which formed a thin layer over a por- _ tion of tlie surface of the lead. There was also a black shred adherent to part of the cyst wall, which proved, on microscopical examination, to be the remains of a blood elpt. For about an inch from this cyst the track of the ball behind the pancreas was completely obliterated by a healing process. Thence as far backward as the body of the first lumbar verterbra, the track was filled with coagulated blood, which ex tended on the left into an irregular space rent in the adjoining adipose tissue, behind the peritoneum and above the pancreas. The blood had worked its way to the left, bursting, finally, through the peri toneum behind the spleen into the abdominal cav ity. The rending of the tissue by the extravnsatim of this blood was undoubtedly the cause of the paroxysms of pain which occurred a short time before death. This mass of coagulated blood was of irregular form and nearly os large as a man???s fist It could be distinctly seen in the front through the peritoneum, after its site behind the greater curvature of the stomach had been exposed by the dissection of the greater omenutum from the stom ach, as especially after some delicate adhesions be tween . the stomach and part of the peritoneum, covering the blood mass, had been broken down by the fingers. From the relations of the mass, as thus seen, it was believed that the hemorrhage had pro ceeded from one of the mesenteric arteries, but as it was clear that a minute dissection would be required to determine the particular branch involved, it was agreed that the infiltrated tissues and the adjoining soft parts, should be preserved for subsequent study. On examination and dissection made in ac cordance with this agreement, it was found that the fatal hemorrhage proceeded from a rent, nearly four-tenths of au inch long, iu the main trunk of the splenic artery, two inches and a half to the left of the colliac axis. This rent must have occurred at least several davs before death, since the inverted edges in the vessel were united by firm adhesions to the sure, rounding connective tissue, thus forming ulmost a continuous wall bounding the adjoining portion of the blood clot. Moreover, the peripheral portion of the clot in this vicinity was disposed in pretty firm concentric layers. It was further found that the evst below tne lower margin of the pancreas in which the bullet was found, was situated three inches and a half to the left of the eolliae axis. Besides the mass of coagulated blood just describ ed, another, about the size of a walnut, was found in the great omenutum, near the splenic extremity of tne stomach. The communication, if any, between this and the larger hemorrhagic mass, could not be made out. An examination of the thoracie viscera resulted as follows: The heart weighed eleven ounces. All the cavities were entirely empty, except the right ventricle. in which a few shreds of soft, reddish, coagulated blood ahdercd to the internal surface. On the surface ofthemitrol valve there were several spots of a fatty degenera tion. With this exception the cardiac valves were normal. The muscular tissues of the heart were soft, and tore easilv. A few spot* of fatty degenera tion existed in the lining of the membrane of the aorta, just above the semilunar valves, and the stender of the fibrin was found in the aorta, where it was divided about two inches from the valves for the removal of the hearts. Fatal Balloon Accident. Cincinnati, September30.???The Gazette's special savs Preslev Cowan, son of Judge Cowan, of St Clairsville, Ohio, was killed to-day at Washington in a balloon ascension at the fair. Professor White had made a successful Ascension yesterday, and Cowan obtained permission to go up alone to day. As the balloon was nearing the timber, Cowan became alarmed and tried to catch a tree top, and fell fifty feet to the ground. The Cincinnati -Syndicate."

HOSTETTER???S BITTERS New York, October I. ??? Special reports .to Bradstrcet's from 500 cotton growing counties by 839 correspondents as to the condition and prospects of the growing cotton crop, published to-morrow, ure as follows: The condition and prospect of the crop, based on the yield, are shown more forcibly in the following table. This gives the actual average condition of the cottou crop as compared with that of last year at tlie same time, as indicated by our reports from each state, and the average for the whole country: North Carolina and Virginia, below last year???s*per cent 37.9; South Carolina, 39.8; Georgia and Florida, 28.8; Alabama, 24.7: Missisfippi, 28.6; Louisiana 30.6; Texas, 39.4; Arkansas, 51.8: Tennessee, 40.2: average for the cotton belt, 31.5. Our last month???s report indicated a condition 27 per cent below that of last year, no allowance, having been tak- eu of the increased acreage planted Hence, during the month ending September 19 the erop seems to have been injured some 7)4 per cent. It is very possible that under the depressing in fluence of the damage actually done to the erop some correspondents have overestimated it, and that the actual outturn of the crop will be somewhat larger than the figures indicate. It is evident, however, that the erop has been very seriously injured, and must fall considerably short of that of last year, even with tlie most favorable fall weather amj full allowance being made for the increased acreage planted. It should be understood that we are not prepared to give an estimate of the final outturn of the crop. We hope to be able to do this in our next monthly report. Our reports indicate that a good fall and late frost will improve the present condition and pros pect of tlie plant in each state, as follows: In North Caroliua uiid Virginia, 2 per cent; South Carolina, 3percent; Georgia and Florida, 2* per cent: Ala bama, 1 2 per cent; Mississippi, 15 percent; Lou isiana, 3 5 per cent; Texas, 44 per cent; Arkau sas, .25 per cent, and Tennessee 23 per cent. The grade of the crop, as far os it is gathered, is reported to be very good, though from some localities there are complaints of the staple being poor. From North Carolina, ]>arts of South Carolina and Alabama, there are ulso complaints, but us a rule our udviees are that the mins were general nud did little injury. With favorable weather for tlie next month, the crop should be a line one in quality, and show a great improvement on tlie last yeur???s growth in the amount of waste fromdamaged cotton. The mail advices summarized above have been supplemented as stated at the outset by numerous special telegrams from im portant points throughout the cotton grow ing region. These have borne on the condition of the plant between September 19th, tlie date of the mail returns, to September 28th, giviug the state of the weather, etc. These telegrams show that tin improvement has taken place during the past ten days, though not markedly; while not estimating the outcome of the growing crop, the report unmistakably points to a serious reduction in the present crop as compared with that of last year.
