    De Wildes Improvements in Apparatus for Probing Shot Wounds, the bullet in any position, allow it to revolve to that of least resistance, and enable the operator to niggle it out where it resists the direct pull, the scissor form allowing hold to be taken and loosed with the utmost readiness. Having thus described the nature of my said Invention, and the manner of 5 performing the same, I would have it understood that what I claim is the arrangement of apparatus used when probing for balls or projectiles as above set forth, and the arrangement of the probe, consisting of two insulating conduct¬ ing blades fixed in a handle and inclosed in a non-conducting tube which protect their points whilst they are introduced into the wound and can then be drawn 10 back as herein-before described. Jn witness whereof, I, the said Sylvan de Wilde, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Thirteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord Ono thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven. S. DE WILDE.
