other enema will be given about noon.
There has been no change in the appear
ance Of the parotid gland since yester-
day, although there has been a further
slight subsistence Of the Inflammation oil
the surrounding parts. The surgeons
hope they have this feature OF the case
under control, although they
cannot yet speak with
confidence. The gland may suppurate
within the next three or four days, not
withstanding the measures which
have been taken to reducs the inflamma
ton. In that case the pus will be hber-
ated by an incision Just as soon as its
existence becomes known. This will
not necessarily involve great evil ii the
patients strength can be sustained. The
danger most to be apprehended now,
DR.. Bliss says, is exhaustion, and this
danger they hope to deal with success
fully unless the stomach entirely breaks
down. Thus far to-day the indications
are that that organ is improving in tone,
and the secretion of phlegm in the throzt
has so far decreased that it gives the pa
tient no special annoyance, and he IS re-
lieved from the necessity OF making such
efforts to expel it as those which brought
on vomiting yesterday afternoon. Dr..
Bliss says the PATIENTS pulse At 8 o'clock
this morning was 9S, and. at half past
eleven l04.
