ty seemed to be with the bis stomach

ter. Enemata was employed to sus-
tain him. On Teusday there was

a teaspoonful of food which he re-
tanned. The wound is reported al
most healed and the trouble did not
grow out Of that but seemed to be
entirely with the stomach. DIR. Bliss,
in an interview, stated that ssthe un-
favorable symptoms were due entire
N UFuur
stomach, and himself and other at
tending surgeons were confident that
the treatment adopted would soon
remedy this. In speaking of the
presidents appearance, he said when
he was shot he weighed al0pounds,
but his confinement had reduced him
nearly 20 pounds. There was. of
course, some pallor, but as he wore a
full beard, this was not so preceptible
as II would otherwise be-"
Another report says: ''Since Sum-
day last the appearance of the presi-
dent has greatly changed. His face
has become haggard and bleached to
whiteness. His person has fallen
away perceptibly, aud his debility is
now so great that he scarcely moves.
It is necessary to turn him over in
bed when it becomes painful for him
to continue in one position. The re-
port that red sores had appeared is
not true. The theory that the pres
ent gastric trouble comes from py-
amia is rejected by all the attending
surgeons. They do not see any signs
of it. 1t would show itself in the
color, or would make itself known
by its odor. Nor do they believe the
condition of the stomach would now
be different If ether had been omit
ted in the last operation"
The latest dispatches from tho
president show his general condition
improved.
