ised Pomerine to submit his request
to the other surgeons. He did so
and they fatty refused assent
Bliss reported the decision to
POmerine a day or two later
Says Bliss: Doctor Pomerine
went to the White House, went
through the reception room up
stairs, and slipped into tie Presi-
dents room while his surgeons were
all absent from the room. While
Pomerine was beside the President
talking to him, DR.. Reyburn entered
the room and very peremptorily in
vlted POmerine to leave. Bliss says
Pomerine sneaked into the Presi-
dents room after having been re-
fused admission, and because he
was turned out he has since asSailed
the Presidents surgeons"
The President is better this morn
ing. His physicians say he has con-
tinued to improve, and they regard
the swelling of the parotid gland as
about conquered. Surgeons and all
others at the White House feel very
hopeful to-day. The quantity Of
nourishment administered is being
steadily increased and taken with
relish. The Presidents bowels are
now acting regularly and naturally.
Executive Mansion, 1910 PM
DR.. Bliss, who has just come from
the Presidents room, in reply to the
q question, "How is the patient 2"
said, "Oh, he is going on splendidly.
He experiences no pain from infam-
nation"
"Has the swelling almost subsi-
ded? ?" Eyes, it has almost entirely
subsidized"
"You do not apprehend any fur
ther annoyance from the parotid
gland, them" No, SIR
"How is the pulse this morning,
doctor?" "From 100 to 1O4 beats
and comparatively firm. His tempe
nature and respiration are about nor
NAL. The patient has taken, to-day,
from fourteen to sixteen ounces of
koumiss and milk Cruel"
"Does he still relish the cruel 2"
Eyes, he appears very fond of it,"
"DoyOu expect to administer any
thing besides this?" eve may give
some more later in the day.
Twill it be milk" ooh, no, we
cannot let him have raw milk"
What do you think of the respira-
ton going below normal, doctorg'
"Oh; that does not signify anything
but extreme weakness"
Executive Mansion, 1890 PM
The Presidents condition has pre-
ceptibly Improved during the last
twenty-four hours. The parotid
swelling is evidently diminishing,
and it has not panied him since last
night. He is taking to-day an in
creased quantity of liquid food by
the mouth, which is relished and
produces no gastric irritation. His
pulse is now LOG, temperature 9S.S,
respiration II.

trouble is now virtually over. The
President has taken more nourish-
