HIS Mind WaveriUg.
NEW YORK. Sept. 10, 2 P. M
Evening Post: DIR. Boynton says
the President is very low and his
mind wavering. He says little or
nothing. When asked II the
coughing had an unfsvorable effect
on the wound the doctor said: mo,
he has got beyond that" Bliss
spoke very frankly. He said the
President was very low and showed
no signs of recovery. ChilIs were
to be expected now at any time
and their continuance must end
fatally. He could not foretell the
course of the disease. Death, il it
came, would probably come from
exhaustion and would not be sud
den. His temperature during
the last chill was very
threatening. They we're of
course doing what they could
to modify the severity of the chills
and suffering of their patient.
Blood-poisoning Is evidently pres.
ent to a pronounced degree. DR..
Agnew says he cannot really give
any encouragement. Being asked
whether the final result is to be ex-
pected In hours or days, he said it
might be in a day or two. DR..
Bliss subsequently said the Presi.
dent might be taken off at chill
at any moment, before we can tell.

DIR. BOyntOn says the President
is very perceptibly weaker than
yesterday. He experienced eonsid-
cradle mental disturbance last
night and there has been more or
less delirium. There is nothing en-.
couraging to report 80 far this
evening. He takes his nourish-
ment and stimulants as usual.
Pnysioians Discouraged.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The Post
says: There is no doubt that the
President must soon die. DR..
Agnew now admits the chills to
Have been caused by an extension
Of the lung trouble. This has not
been acknowledged by any OF the
physicians except Boynton. The
pulse during the last chill was so
weak and feeble it counted beyond
l46, but 1t went higher than that.
The President is not improving.
He may last week, and may last
longer. 1t is impossible to make
any predictions, but the Presidents
condition Is about as bad MS 1t
can be.
