THROUGH ANOTHER CRISIS.
:. How Many More Stations VIII Have to Stop
Atr


WASHINGTON, 9:30 p. m, August Is
DIR. Boynton makes the following statement:
In my opinion all the patients symptoms
show decided Improvement. In The first
place his mind, which week ago was more
or less affected by the vitiated and Impov-
erished condition of the blood, is now per-
fectly clear and active. UP TO Friday night
and Saturday morning / do not think his
will power had for six or seven days any
sustaining influence on his body. He had
no strong will power till yesterday; how
ever, In this respect there has been notice
able change. Not only Is he more cheerful
and hopeful, but his will has resumed its
power of sustained effort and 1t is now coop
Grating with his vital energies in the struggle
of his whole being for life. The condition
Of his stomach so far as its ability to take
food is concerned continues good, and i think
there is slight improvement in the process
of assimilation and nutrition. He has
swallowed to-day more than thirty ounces OF
liquid neurishment, consisting chiefly of
beef juice, pepsinized milk and milk por-
ridge, and has had two nutritye enemata.
This supply Of food Is adequate if properly
assimilated.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 2S, s a. m.
The Presidents symptoms this morning
u
same hour. He slept, awakening at inter-
walls, the greater part of the night. At these
intervals he took aud retained the liquid
nourishment administered. His mind con-
tinues perfectly clear. Pulse 100; tempera-
ture, 50; respiration, II. Signed officially.
WASHINGTON, August 29.--The President
had good day and is having a good night.
At this hour q p. m.) his pulse is los, show
ing decrease from the forenoon for many
days past. His pulse showed a decided
decrease for this time I'm the forenoon ;
respiration, normal. ALI the other symptoms
are reported by the surgeons to be fayora-
BILE.
WASHING TON, August 2S.-Dr. Boynton
said made an examination OF the Presi-
dents lungs myself last night and found
them all right. There are no new complied
tions whatever In the Presidents case, and
no unfayorable features which are not al
ready known. He continues to do well.
NEW YORK, August 29.-Dr. Bliss said to
the Times correspondent in reply to the
question: Is there danger of other glands
being attacked? 81 have gone carefully
over all surgical records Of the war with a
view to that very question, beside which my
personal experience with gun shot wounds
has been very large, and 1 do not know OF
an instance where the econd gland has ever
been involved through transmatic paralitics.
That never occurs except in cases Of distinct
pyemia, which," he said, with marked en-
phasis, "the President has never had. There
has been 10 other swelling even of the lym-
phatic gland, so tar as have been able 10
discern. There have been a few eruptions
on the back caused by blood poisoning, but
they were not granular and they have sub
sided. The bullet has given no trouble and
gives none. Ultimately it will be removed.
Ii has changed Its position since 1t entered
the body and has worked its way downward
to the vicinity of the rectum. We now
know pretty well where 1t is. | don't think
1t is embedded In any OF the muscular It's
sues. OF course If IL Is removed it will be
by an operation, but it will not be severe
one."
WASHINGTON, August 20, II a. m.-Ai
the morning dressing of the Presidents
wound the parotid swelling was found To
have diminished sensibly in size since yes
terday morning. 1t had been discharging
pus during the night plentifully from three
openings. Another yellow spot was discov-
cred on the side of the face this evening
which when pricked permitted the discharge
Of pus from another pus pocket. The wound
in the body was found TO be doing well. Ii
still continues to discharge freely.
The character of the pus discharged has
not changed materially since yesterday, but
is thicker and healthier in character than a
few days ago. While dressing and cleansing
the wound this mnrning the cleansing ca
theter penetrated to depth of nearly Il
inches
DIR. Boynton, who was in the sick room
the greater part of last night, says the Presi'
dent passed good night, sleeping most oil
the time. His sleep was more natural thar
airy night during The past. During intervals
OF wakefulness his mind was perfectly clear
Once, about two o'clock, when awake, and
while taking some nourishment, he remarked
TO DIR. Boynton, evidently referring To his
several relapses: -......
"Doctor, 1 wonder how many more sta
tions will have TO stop at ?"
Doctor Boynton says the President look:
better and feels better this morning. The
doctors hope is strengthened, owing to the
fact that the President held his own throdgl
another day and night. He will feel con
tented and satisfied with the continuance o
this stationary period for few days. Aftel
that he hopes the work of recuperation ant
repair will commence. At this hour TIN
surgeons report his condition as quite as ia
yorable as at the morning examination.
