Executive Maaailn, Y m DIR. B!lss re-
oorts at lido a. m, that the condition Of
the president is slightly better than on yess
terday. There hes bees 30 nausea or voin-
ting sinae yesterday afternoon, and his
somach eeatns to be again resuming lis func
lions The patient has swallowed and re-
tanned without discomfort since morning,
abcut twelve ounces of milk porridge and
koumiss, ard at q. m. an enemsta of beef
extract was administered. Another enemsta
will be- administered about noon. There
has been no change in the sppesr-
snca of the psrotid gland since yesterday.
although there has been further slight sub
sideae3 of Inflammation OF the surrounding
parts. The surgeons hope !bst they have
thjs feature Of the case under CONTROL al
though they can't set speak with corhtence.
The glni,d msy suppursie within tho Lex
three or four days, Notwithstanding the
measures that have been laS On 10 redu @ the
Inflammation. Ia tha. case the pus will BE-
liberated By an iucision just as soon as lis
existence becomes sppafent. This will not
necessarily invcivo CREST peril il the psheDps
strenpth can bs sustained, Tho danger
most to be spprebonded now, Dr. Bliss says,
IA exbqustian, aud with this danger they hope
40 deal successfully unless his stomach 60
tirelv breaks down. Thu, far to-day the
jndicstions are that the organs sre improving
in tone, aJu the secretion Of phlegm in the
throat has so fsr decreased that it gives ,he
patient no especial annoyance.
He is relieved from the necessity Of MAX
ing such efforts 10 expel it sR those which
brought on vomiting yesterday afternoon
DIR. Bliss seys that tho patients pulse at
a, m. was 50 and at ll:30 it was 104.
DR.. Boynton, Mrs Gsrfield's physician,
who is now acting rs nurse to the president,
WAC met at the Ebbin house this evening by
A representative OF the associated press
when the following dialogue took place:
In your opinion, doctor, what is the out
look at present.
think the president isa little improved
to-day. He hes tskeR ard retained his
DourishmenL we'll.
What kind Of nourishment are you giving
him 90 day?
The same ss bafore-kouniss and milk
porridge.
Does Tho patient appear TO relish it?
Oh, yes; ho asked Tor it this morning you
know.
How do you feel about the glandular
trouble to-day?
feel better about tto-day.
Has it grown materially harder than II
was?
No; do not think ii is quite so largo Rs il
was, and am quite confident should cup
puration set in il will be IN much smaller
degree and have less serious effect than 4
would have had had II commenced TO sup
purste before. II it should suppurste now
probably il will not do ny great damage.
What sre the chances Of preventing sup
puration2
question. 1t is very complicated
and one about which no reliable predicuon
can be given. =,
How long will II bs before you can decid
whether or not suppuratlon is likely to oo
cur?
Tho glandular slfeciion became Visible o.
Wednesday last. should think by io-mor
rowe or Wednesday evening we should be abl
to determine.
Do you consider sthst tho presidents stom
ach is performing III natural functions now
Yes; think his stomach ID doing yer
vol,
There has been soma talk about the prasi
den. being delirious at times: what ara tn
factl about thatY
The president has beon little delrious q
times but ii has not amounted TO anything
serious.
To Whist doyou attribute the delirium
II Ia caused by his extremely feeble con
dlion, together with his long illness. |
would be likely TO occur in any case whor
the patient had become so enleeeed.
Then you dvn't attach sny great impor
lance to IL?
No, sir not at oil.
Well, doctor, understand the nltendin
surgeons have administered with onemaia
portion of opium. Is that true? IL g.
wouldn't it have u tendency TO cause do
lirium
In ell cases where cnomata sre administeret
