A dispatch says there is a mystery about the
condition Of the presidents lungs. DR.. Boyn-
ton AYERS positively that the continued cough
Ing and expe pectoration comes from the brOn-
chial tnbes, and says it is tie result Of the
glantinlar swelling. He refuses to give IN
opinion as to the gravity OF the complication or
to state what, in his judgment il the direct
cause. The reason given for this raticenco ia
that Drs. Bliss and Hamilton have examined
the lungs more frequently than he (Boynton,)
anu are therefore better qualified to speak. Dr..
Boynton says that The lungs are the chief
source OF annoyance at present DR.. Bliss
said that day that he had examined the lungs
aad they were perfectly sound. He thought
that when tho ball entered the body it might
have severed some of the tissues on the ex.
tremo lower odge Of the diaphragm, producing
a slight congestion, but of this there were no
traces Dr.. Reyburn shares Dr. Boynton's
views. DR.. Hamilton is non .committal.
