UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Executive MANSION, July 23-11:30 4. u.
DIR. Bovnton. who has just come from the
Presidents chamber, attributes the sudden
rise in the Presidents pulse and tempela-
ture TO some obstruction in the way OF
a free discharge Of pus from the wound.
Symptoms Of granulatiOns were noticed
along the track OF the ball yesterday, ana
il is possible that this heating process IS
going on at some point comparatively near
TO the external surface or the Oody
aod has damned up a quantity Of
nus in the deeper part Of the wound,
and that the chill and increased fever
are TO be thus accounted for. The discharge
this morning, although perfectly normal
and healthy in It's character, was unusually
scaniv, which would seem to indicate that
its flow bad been in some way impeded or
interrupted. The chill mentioned in the
official bulletin commenced about 8 o'clock
and lasted until 8, being qnite severe, the
pul>e running up at one time 10 1870. Al
| This hour the fever is said 10 he gradually
disappearlng. and the PATENTS condition Is
considered better than when the bulletin
was issued.
