RecieaC of the Day.

passed a better and more refreshing night last
night than he had before in many a week.
His intervals of wakefulness were shorter and
less freqent than usual, and for several hours
at time he needed no attention whatever
from his attendants. Early this morning he
expressed desire for food, and took with ap-
parent relish about four ounces of beef extract.
The condition of his stomach so far as ability
to assimilate and dispose of. food
were concerned, seemed even better than yes
terday, and soon as the surgeons become as
sured of this fact, they decided to discontin-
ne, at least for the present, food injections
and began with feeling of greater confidence
to give larger quantities of beef juice, pep
tionized milk and milk Cruel in the natural
way. Up to noon the patient swallowed be-
tween thirteen and fourteen ounces of this
kind of food, and the effects of the increased
amount of nourishment taken to-day and yes
terday began to be apparent in
sTEADIER AND STRONGER PULSE.
The rate of which at noon was only four
beats higher than early in the morning. The
wound at the morning dressing presented a
healthy appearance, and its condition was in
every respect satisfactory. The glandular in
Il iimatioD, however, seemed to have under
gone slight change since yesterday, Its ap-
pearance was about the same, but it was
little softer to the touch and there were indi-
cations that the process of suppuration
had begun. Later in the fore
noon a more careful and thorough
examination was made and unmistakeable ey-
ldence was obtained of the presence of pus,
although the amount secreted up to that time
seemed to be small In view of the low and
impoverished condition of the patients blood,
it was thought unsafe to allow this pus in
the gland since if not liberated promptly it's
character might change and the complication
become more serious. AT the noon cOnsulta-
tion it was decided to make an incision and
soon after the 1890 bulletin was issued DIR.
Hamilton
CUT INTO THE SWELLING
on the right side of the face, below and in
front of the ear, and set free the small auan-
tity of healthy pus. The operation was, CON-
paratively speaking, triaing one, as the in
cision was not deep, and it was, therefore,
thought unnecessary to use an@sthetics,
either local or general. The spray of carbol-
lied water was, however, thrown upon the
cut, as an antiseptic precaution. The patients
pulse became more frequent on Mon
day after the incision was made,
and reached a maximum of lis beats, but
soon subsided. In conversation this after
tion were in every way satisfactory. 1t was
not expected, he said, the incision would at
once give permanent relief, or that the infam-
nation would Immediately subside. There
would probably be temporary
AaGRAvATIoN OF FEBRILE SYMPTOMS
as consequence of the operation, and more
however, anticipate any further trouble. The
incision would be kept open and if, as seems
probable, more pus should form, it could
readily escape. There would, he thought, be
necessity for any more .wsaHsgd sng
food as before without nausea
or discomfort, and up to 4:2o had taken IN all
about twenty-three ounces. The evening ex-
animation showed a slightly higher pulse and
temperature than at the corresponding hour
last night, but in other respects the condition
of the patient was unchanged. At o'clock
Gen. Swain said he felt more encouraged than
at any time before since Saturday. Col. Rock
| well, who happened to be standing by, felt
the same. In regard to the
REPORTED DELERIUM
of the President, Col. Rockwell said the talk
about delerium is all nonsense. The President
isn't delerious and hasn't been. He is seme-
times little incoherent for a moment when
he wakes and before he fully gets control of
his senses, just as any one would be in his
weak and debilitated condition after seven
weeks fever. But at all other times his mind
is as clear as yours or mine.
Does he always recognize you when you 60
into the room?
Why, of course he does.
And call you by name?
Certainly.
Does he take any interest in outside things?
Yes, to o certain extent. Not as much
perhaps, as earlier in his illness, but yester-
| day morning he saw me looking over the
morning papers which a messenger had just
brought in, and asked me to read off the head
| ings 1 told him there did not seem to be
| anything worth reading to him, and he said
| nothing more.
Dr.. Hamilton being asked this evening
| whether the results of the incision made this
afternoon were satisfactory, replied they were,
and the object sought would, he thought, be
| obtained.
