The President Is Shot
President James A. Garfield was a robust, athletic man of forty-nine when an assassin pumped two bullets into him. One grazed his arm, doing no damage. The other went into his side. In the days before x-rays, the bullet could not be found. Believing that removing the bullet was essential, the doctors probed and poked in complete disregard to the newfangled practices of antisepsis, which included hand-washing. This paved the way for the infection that would lead to his death ten weeks later.
The immediate outpouring of sympathy was overwhelming – along with hundreds of letters recommending various strategies and techniques that might be useful. All letters were opened and read, and generally responded to. Some, like the one suggesting that two strong men hold the President upside down and shake him hard, causing the bullet to pop out of his mouth, was filed away. Others deserving more attention were forwarded accordingly.
Alexander Graham Bell’s Metal Detector
One such letter came from Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, who had stunned the world at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition a few years earlier with his amazing telephone, which would make his reputation and fortune.
