WASHINGTON, Sept. A, 1881.
Last night the Presidents stomach
entered a protest against its treatment.
The result was vomiting. The bull -
tin states that fact, but the doctors
being asked for the cause give either
general answers or evade the question.
Outside medical opinion is more pro-
nounced. Doctors say directly that
one of two things caused the trouble.
First, the extreme usefulness of the
stimulants that have been 30 literally
administered has been reached and the
system has revelted or the stomach
has been forced to accept food of too
great variety and too abundant as to
quantity. Reed birds, squirrel soup,
bouillon, chicken, beefsteak, porridge,
beef JUICE, extract of beef, toast, milk
and koumiss formed the bill of fare for
yesterday, and, although the aggre-
gate quantity would have been small
for a we'll man, it is great quantity
for one so sick as tho President
Either of the facts are, in the Judgment
of the criticising doctors sufficient
cause for the first.
RETURN OF GASTRIC DISTURBANCE.
In the first bulletin of the day nothing
Is said, however, about swallowing pus
from the parotid gland. The first vom-
itting last night took place about ten
o'clock, nearly four hours after the
| President had eatel his last morsel OF
| food In tho evening, and the stomach
| yielded forth when 1t had previously re-
ceived in the same condition that 1t had
beed swallowed. ibis seems to show
that 1t was not performing digestive duty
Of all. After the first spell OF vomiting
which was quite severe, he slept again,
but the sleep was that of exhaustion,
and when he had rested, as he did, until
a little after midnight, he awoke, and

He then entered upon q fitful sleep,
which lasted till daylight; He awoke at

the day remained SO, sleeping at inter-

did not feel nearly SO we'll as he had on
the previous days of the week.

BETTER TONE OF HE STOMACH.
This morning the President had
some breakfast into which there en-
tered no solid substance whatever. he
had small quantity of porridge, some
extract of beef, and the enema were
continued. His stomach retained all
this. His pulse was high-105, 1t was
reported-but yesterday it was report
ed at lower figure in the bulletin
when its average range was, in fact,
nearer to 115. The noon bulletin had
little to say. 1t simply set forth that
there was no change in the Presidents
condition sincs the last bulletin. The
pulse, however, was given at 1O6, two
beats lower than before, while the res
piraJion and temperature remained
unchanged.
UNAVOIDABLE SYMPTOMS.
During the afternoon the President

dozed little and woke up fretful. 1t
