DIR. HAMILTON'S CONFIDENCE.

HE DECLARES THAT THERE is NO REASONABLE
DOUBT OF THE PRESIDENTS RECOVERY.
"The interest in the Presidents case centres now
in watching the variations of pulse, temperature and
respiration" said DR.. Hamilton last evening. I'm
order to observe these variations more accurately
he is drawing lines to indicate them
chart prepared for the purpose. BY
this chart it is shown in the case of the
Presidents temperature that i'll general it is
moving along line that is almost normal. For
thrty-sX hours there has been no pcrceptible vara
ton. The highest point was reached on the tenth
day after the accident last tuesday,; from that
high point it fell almost to the normal line the next
morning. For several days after the wound was
inflicted there considerable luctuation If the
pulse, but as traced the chart the
line has gradually become less irregular and
moro nearly parallel to the normal line
For three days il has scarcely deviated from
the normal at ALL The same is true in general of
the respiration. At first il considerably above
the normal standard, but it has gradually become
more and more natural, until it has been almost
normal for day and half
From this on" said DR.. Hamilton, " do not ex-
pcct to much detection from the normal lines"
what will You say now in regard to the Presi-
dents prospects of recOveryY
THAT there is scarcely doubt that he Will get
well in fact will say that his ultimate recovery is
beyond all reasonable doubt You can't say that he
is ont of danger, of course. That you cannot say of
any sick man, no matter what his trouble s."
DO you think there is much danger of pyemia at
any future stage of the ease 7"
" That danger has been greatly exaggerated to
the public from the first PyGmia Tor blood poison
ing is not to be apprehended ordinarily when the
patient is in average health, as the President is at
present SO, say that the danger from that source
in his case iseXceedingy small, and is scarcely to
be taken into consideration"
What, then, is to be apprehcnded in the fu-
turc ~
Nothing L think, but the patients possibly
tedious recovery. The danger from secondary
hemorrhage is practically passed. The ball. wher.
ever IL is is not now likely to disrupt any blood
vessel, because blood vessels protect themselves
from a foreign body when the patient is in average
health by thckening their walls"

Hamilton yesterday by the attending surgeons:
