GARFIELD'S CRITICAL CONDITION /.
A Victim to Deadly Dyspepsfa-Hope Of Hi,

Victim to Deadly Dyspcpsia-Hope Of His
Recovery Almost Entirely Departed.
On Tuesday the case of the president
wss reported as almost hopeless. His
nausea continued and he could retain but
little food on his stomach, nourishment
being administered almost wholly by in
jections. Lack of sufficient nourishment
was considered the most serious phase of
his case. He fingered withoat material
change during Tuesday night.
The country was intensely excited hy ex-
pectatioEs Of an announcement of the pres
idents death.
On Wednesday, there was an unexpectedly
favorable turn. His pulse improved, and he
vas given quantities of beef tea in the natural
waJ, snd il was retained without difficulty.
The worttd gives 10 trouble Upon being
asked the weight Of the president, one attend
ant gave out that it WAS now about 80 pounds,
having been reduced to that figure from tho
normal condition of 21O pounds. Everybody
situation warrants.
the president At 2 p. M, Secretary Blaine
cabled to our minister at London: ''Thc
president shows slight improvement in his
power to retain and digest food, but his gener-
al condition is not strongly reassuTlng" And
in the evening the following WAS sent:
i
shows N Improvement He has swallowed
retained and apparently digested nine ounces
Of liquid food during the day, asking for it
himself and relishing it. The swelling of the
| parotid gland has created some nneasiness,
though it is not regarded as specially discour~
aging by his medical advisers"
On Friday, the presidents pulse remained
| 100, but the condition Of bis stomach is moro
hopeful He took more food yesterday than on
any day for three weeks. The swelling Of the
| parotid gland diminishes, and the appearances
of his wound is more healthy and favorable
Apparently al fears Of blood poisoning OF any
sort are dismissed and the only thing thousht
of by the doctors is to build up his strength.
Saturday night the president was very rest
less, and on Sunday afternoon his pulse was
1e8 and temperature 80. His stomach, upon
which hope had been basod, once more reject
ed sustenance. The fatal nausea returned and
vomiting Was the result Food taken In tho
natural way, it was evident, must mus,
again be dls9ontnnsd b and e,em.1s neRe
For several days it has become apparent that
the presidents recovery depended almost g ole!y
upon the ability Of his stomach to aseimiiate
solid food in sufficient quantities to
rebuild bis wasted system.
At 1:3t, p. m, the president was naueeated,
as DR.. Bliss said, from the secretion OF SILVA
in the throat. The vomiting sent the pulse up
patient became calmer. He dozed at times,
but could not sleep long, He Was apparently
| weaker. About 4 o'clock he v0mited second
time No liquid nourishment had been admin
istered after the first sick spell. but the e1emats
WIS increased. The issue of the 6.3O p. m
bulletin contained the first news Of tho change
for the worse in the presidents condition:
From the latest dispatches it is evident that but
little hope OF his recovery is entertained by
the doctors.

Andrew Norman. q prominent farmer
living few miles north of town, is now
lying in critical condition from tie ef-
fects of what is supposed to be blood-poi-
soning. His case is very singular and re-
markable one. He was fishing few weeks
ago, and while holding huge catfish it
horned him through the hand. He sudden
ly became very i'll and his hand and arm be-
gan swelling to enormous proportions. He
has not since been able to leave his house
and his sufferings are intense, his whole
body at times being very much bloated and
swollen. The most singular part OF the
case ls that when Mr.. Norman received the
wound he was seized With the horrible
thought that it would prove fatal, and a.
though several weeks have now elapsed,
this awful forsboding still clings to him and
he seems unable to divest his mind of the
dreadful conclusion.

In this connection wodlq like 10 ati6te the
following section from tho Revised Statutes OF
the United States: :
Section 23O0. Every soldier, sailor, marine
officer or other person. coming within the pro-
visions Of section 23O4, may, 40 well BY a.
agent % in person, enter upon such homestead
by filing declaratory statement, a. in pre-
emPticn cases; but such claimant in person
shall within the time prescribed (six months)
make his actual entry, commence settlements
and improvements on the came, and thereafter
fulfil all the Requirements Of the law.
The instruction from the general land Office
to local officers for executing the provisions OF
this section, are a. follows:
:, Should the party present his declaration
threugh an agent ~ authorized by section
23O9, said agent must produce duly execut-
cd power OF attorney ff6m the principal de-.
string to make the entry, who will be bound BY

SOME OF the big newspapers, notably the
Nsw York Herald, have made themselve s
ridiculous by affectation Of superior med
ical and surgical knowledge Of the presi-
dents situation and requirements. The
Herald asked why is he not further ad-
vanced towards recovery" in response to
which the New York Tribune satirically re-
spends: It is simply because he was handed
over to surgery instead of journalism. 1t
is too late now to remedy the mistake, but
it ought never to be permitted to happen
again. Let it be understood hereafter that
when public man receives q hurt or needs
medical care, he is to be taken to the near
est newspaper Office to be treated according
to the rules of good journalism" If this
treatment should not result in immediate
recovery, it would be we'll to have the CO.
operation of such eminent surgeons as Mrs.
DR.. Edison and Mrs. DIR. Jane G.Swishelm.

AT the late meeting of the bankers of the
United States at Saratoga, John Thompson
OF New York, a veteran, now retired from
active business, sent an article warning
against future smash. He was not able
to predict when it will come, but reminded
his profession Of the old rule of q panic
every 10 years; since 1857, however, this
rule has not held, and in the increased Sc
curity 1T modern banking, probably the
cycles of prosperity would span 20 years.
Speaking generally of the business outlook,
MIR. Thompson said: AT present there is
but one alarming indication Of trouble, and
that is in the number and magnitude of new
enterprises, involving the issue of millions
on millions Of obligations. In 1912, and
for half of 1873, this same sign of coming
trouble was apparent, but to o fractional
e1tentas compared with the present."
