Stomach Disturbance


WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The morning bull
letin, which mentioned that the President had
vomited twice during the night, caused con-
siderable apprehension throughout the city,
and many inquiries were made at the Execu-
tive mansion as to the cause. The attending
surgeons explained the vomiting was occa-
stoned by the collection of phlegm IN the
throat, and no serious consequences were ex-
peeted TIC follow. The first disturbance of the
stomach took place about 10 o'clock last night,
but it was not noticed as being of any import
ance, bat when it occurred a second time about
, a. M, it was then considered to be very I'M
favorable. Soon after the second, however,
the patient asked for and was given quantity
of milk porridge, which he retained without
difficulty. Not long after taking this he par
took of squirrel broth which he appeared to
relish very much.
One of the attendants upon the President
reported in the morning the glandular affec-
ton was decreasing rapidly, and that the
wound was discharging trifle more freely
than it had been recently. The attendants said
as the discharge from the gland ceases the flow
of pus from the wound increases. No notice
able change in the character of the wound
has yet taken place. DR.. Boynton expressed
the opinion that the President, notwithstand-
ing the gastric disturbance which he expert
enced during the night, was somewhat better
than yesterday.
AT LONG BRANCH.
Speaking of accommodations at Long
Branch the doctor said it would probably be
necessary to have two or three cottages to ac-
commodate the patient and those who would
have to accompany him. 1t is understood
to be the intention to have
guards around the patients quarters
at Long Branch similar to that which has
been kept about the Executive mansion and
admittance to the neighborhood of the Presi-
dents family only be allowed by pass.
PHLEGM SECRETION.
Dr. Boyton does not attribute any particu-
lar Importance to the fact of the Presidents
having vomted last night inasmuch as he has
been taking nourishment ever since without
difficulty. The doctor says as it was due sole.
ly to the secretion of phlegm it will
not materially changed the Presidents gen
eral condition. He has been doing very well.
MRS. GARFIELD PLEASED.
II Is said by those intimate with the family
that MIS-. Garfield is much pleased with the
idea of the Presidents being moved from the
influences Of the malarious atmosphere which
surrounds the White house to more health
ful locality. 1t IS generally conceded by
those acquainted with the facts that
the President will be removed between
tomorrow and Wednesday, providing he re-
mains in az good condition as at present and
the weather is favorable.
MAC yEAGH.
Attorney General MacYeagh said he did moi
consider the gastric trouble Of last night
would interfere in any manner with the Pres,
ident's removal. Dr. Reyburn said the patient
was as well as could reasonably be expected
The vomiting which occurred last night had
entailed no unfavorabie results. There had been
more or less trouble at different times recently
from the secretion of phlegm in the throat
he said, but no particular Importance had been
attached thereto bdeapse the occurrences did
not in any serious way affect the stomach. In
reply to question as to when the President
would be moved, DR.. Reyburn said be thought
not before Wednesday, but the earliest oppor
tunity would be taken advantage of. It en-
tirely depends on the patients condition and
surrounding circumstances, such as wea ther
WIND ON THE STOMACH.
Dr. Bliss says the President is doing very
nicely indeed. Last nights disturbance o.
the stomach does not necessarily interfere
with The Presidents removal. The glandulal
complication is about all gone, but there il
ill some discharge. The vomiting was NOR
>m the effects of wind on the stomach thar
fro tfng else.
