| On the night of the Goth the President was
| again worse, and Sunday, the 21st inst. was 9
| day of great anxiety. The President was
seized with vomiting, and the pulse and
| temperature were both increased. DIR. Bliss
| thus explains the cause: at was produced
! by his efforts to expel from his throat
| the matter from the infamed parotid
| gland. That was the sole reason for the
vomiting, and it was not the result Of nause,
| or gastric disturbance. We stopped tht
nourishment by the mouth in order to pre-
vent further vomiting, . continuance Of
which would irritate the stomach and create
nausea. The stomach has been only slightly
affected by the vomiting, and is in a con
dition to retain the nourishment giver
by the mouth whenever we deem il
proper to resume. Meanwhile he is receiving
ample nutrition by injection" DR.. Bliss sale
his views of the infamed gland remain un
changed. He does not expect it will amount
to anything serious, bnt that in the course Of
two or three days it will either abort or sup
purate. He pronounced the Presidents gen
eral condition satisfactory, and is as confident
as ever of his recovery. lf.
