A Statement, by DR.. Bliss.

The Posts Long Branch special has the
following: DR.. Bliss has just made state
ment as to the origin and progress OF the
Presidents lung troubles. He says the lung
troubles began with hypostatic congestion,
which was caused in part by his being IN
recumbent position and because the side was
injured by the wound.
The parotid swelling created Inflammation
which extended from the gland TO the mus
Giles and the membrane of. the throat and
larynx. and afterward invaded the bronchial
passages and was attracted to the right lung
rather than to the left breast, because the in-
Jury was on that side, and there was slight
congestion there. These two conditions met
in the right lung. He finally added that the
access of blood poisoning, which in the
course of time was sufficient to develop in
the right lung. aided the inclination to an
abscess. This was not developed until within
three or four days. DIR Bliss says the Pres
ident called for a hand glass after the morn
ing dressing and said: Il cannot under
stand why ! am so weak whenI look so
we'll" His voice is not so hoarse as when
the parotid gland was infamed. There is no
evidence of repair in any of the wounds.

Long Branch, Sept. 10.


Dr. Boynton IN conversation this morning,
said the President passed the most quiet
night he has experienced since he was shot.
This is not extraordinary. the occasion for it
being that he is 80 fearfully weak and debil-
tated.
The Doctor said that the chill came on
while the morning dressing was in progress,
and that the dressing had to be stopped on
account of it. The patient first complained
of feeling cold, and was at once attacked
with paroxysms of shaking. During the
time the chill prevailed, vomiting and severe
retching occurred. The rig0r was about 20
minutes duration. After it passed of the
patient became comparatively comfortable,
and partook of some nourishment, and his
pulse fell three beats-tO 40. While the
chill was on the pulse was li3, and very
feeble.
The guards about the Francklyn cottage
have been ordered in the event of the Presi-
dents demise. to Immediately extend their
picket lines, and no one will be allowed to
approach near his quarters. In the event of
the immediate danger of the President dying,
the government will probably monopolize the
only telegraph wire to Elberon, and the
press dispatches will have to be carried two
miles by conveyances. This of course will
cause great delay.
DIR. Bliss briefly summed up the condition
this noon as decidedly critical He said that
there was no doubt that the rigors were the
result of extended complications in the right
lung. aided BY the exhausted condition o. the
President, which has been caused by blood
poisoning. 1t is quite possible should the
rigors continue to occur the next forty-eight
hours, that the President would be carried
away in one of them.
DIR. Boynton expects the patient to rally
from the effects of this mornings rigor, but
admits there is cause for the gravest appre-
hension. The chills may continue some
time without serious results, but it is not
possible to make any predictions as to the
course the disease may take next
