has had very favorable afternoon. He ate
plateful of soup about o'clock, and has

EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 31st-6:30

than for come time past. He has taken his
food with increased relish, and the usual
afternoon rise of temperature did not occur.
At the evening dressing the fluid to wash out
the parotid abscess found its way iDto the
mouth, which it did not do this morning,
showing that an opening into the mouth has
spontaneously occurred The abscess is dis
charging freely, and the swelling continues
diminishing. There is some increase in the
discharge of pus from the wound. Pulse 109,
temperature 9S 6. respiration IS. Signed by
Bliss, Barnes, Woodward, Reyb1rn and
Hamilton.
The Spontaneous Giandular Opening.
WASHINGTON, August 31st.-Dr. Rey burn
says that no Importance whatever should be
attached to the fact mentioned in the $50
bulletin, that the gland has made an opening
spontaneously into the mouth. No pus has
found its way through this opening, and it is
not likely that any will, for the reason that
it can escape much more easily through the
external outlet. The opening into the
mouth is about the middle of the cheek, and
in the position in which the patient lies
most OF the time there are two or three ex-
ternal openings lower down, which drain all
the pus from the part Of the gland with which
the mouth is in communication. No danger
whatever of any kind is apprehended from
this new feature OF the glandular suppuration
The pus is not likely to get into the mouth,
and even if it should it would do no harm.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 31st.-In sn
interview at 2:l5 P. NJ, DR.. Bliss said that the

in every way. The parotid swelling has been

is steadily diminishing. The President CON
tinues to take feed well. and has made 2
slight gain in strength. The question of his
removal from the Executive Mansion is
again being seriously considered. The Presi-

although he will doubtless be taken there
eventually, the first removal will be 6 shorter

WASHINGTON, August 3lst.-To-night DR..
Bliss said: 81 received number Of letters
to-day commenting unfavorably upon our use
of alcoholic stimulants in this case, but the
writer's, never having seen the patient are
not qualified to judge as to the wisdom Of the
measures which we have taken during the re-
cent period Of his exhaustion. Any reduction
il the quantity of whisky given was followed
promptly by warning of danger in the
shape of a high fever and fluctuating pulse.
