BARR, JOHN - not listed in AG Report - The following report is from Medical/Surgical History--Part II, Volume II Chapter VI.--Injuries Of The Abdomen. Section III.--Penetrating Wounds Of The Abdomen.

Gunshot Wounds.--Large projectiles generally cause hopeless eviscerations; musket balls commonly partially or completely divide the calibre of the small intestines; pistol or carbine balls often make single or twin perforations. The number of cases of lesions of this group, that came under treatment, was not large, and it may be still considered doubtful if an incontestable instance of recovery was observed. Cases, however, that the reporters regarded as such, will be collected here, and the reader can judge if the evidence is conclusive that the small, and not the large, intestine was injured:

CASE 207.--Private John Barr, Co. E, 76th New York, aged 45 years, received a shot wound of the left side of the abdomen, at Spottsylvania, May 9, 1864. He was conveyed to the hospital of the 1st division, Fifth Corps, under the care of Surgeon W. R. DeWitt, jr., U. S. V. The field record affords no information regarding the extent or symptoms of the injury. He was sent by an ambulance train through Fredericksburg to one of the hospital transports, and reached Washington on the 18th, and was admitted to Douglas Hospital. Acting Assistant Surgeon Henry Gibbons, jr., compiled the following abstract of the case:(2) "A conoidal musket ball had entered at the junction of the left twelfth rib with its cartilage, and. passing downward, backward, and outward through the ilium, lodged in the gluteal muscles, whence it was removed by incision. .On admission, the wound copiously discharged a thin translucent fluid, resembling diluted bile, which evidently came from the small intestine, for, among other reasons, it had no faecal odor. Were further proof of the origin of the discharge required, it would be furnished by the tact that three ascarides lumbricoides escaped from the wound during the second and third weeks of the treatment. The discharge, for nine days prior to admission, was, according to the patient, similar to that above noted. The patient was kept perfectly quiet in a recumbent posture. The discharge from the wound was facilitated by large masses of charpie being used to absorb it. For several weeks the patient was nourished solely by milk, milk-punch, and beef-tea. His appetite was poor, his sleep much disturbed by cough. But there was no abdominal pain or tenderness, and at no time, throughout the treatment, was there any symptom of peritoneal inflammation. On May 22d, a soap and water enema was administered without result.

Nothing more was attempted in this direction, as the patient was doing well, and nature seemed competent to meet every indication. On June 3d, the discharge had entirely ceased, and the patient was much improved. On June 6th, he had a large alvine evacuation, the first since May 9th. On June 11th, with the aid of an enema, he had another large dejection. From this time he improved rapidly. On August 16th, a fragment of necrosed bone, that could be recognized as a portion of the ilium, was removed from the wound in the gluteal region. About the same period bits of necrosed cartilage were taken from the fistulous orifices opening near the wound of entrance. The bowels were disposed to costiveness, and flatulence was troublesome. Early in October there was an attack of dysentery, which lasted one week. On May 5, 1865, a needle-shaped bit of bone escaped from the wound of entrance. On May 8th, both wounds were entirely healed." On July 16th, the patient was photographed at the Army Medical Museum. He was then in good health. A reduced copy of the photograph (the original is at page 15, Vol. II, of the Surgical Photographic Series) is represented in the adjacent wood-cut (FIG. 42). Assistant Surgeon W. F. Norris, U. S. A., in reporting this case, states that the patient was discharged from service September 23, 1865, on account of a shot wound of the intestines, with injury to the ribs. The disability is rated at three-fourths, and the man is unfit for the Veteran Reserve Corps. It does not appear that this man has ever made application for pension, and no further information regarding him can be found at the offices of the Adjutants General of the Army and of New York.

Though no precise microscopical or chemical analysis is recorded in this case, the absence of faecal odor, and other characters of the discharge from the intestinal fistula, are significant, and appear to have been considered by the well-informed surgical staff of Douglas Hospital as almost conclusive proof that the discharge came from the small intestine. The escape of lumbricoid worms, of course, has no significance as regards the part of the alimentary canal interested, these entozoa being found in every part.
