What are the great symptoms in his favor?'
First Of all, the evidences that are conclu-
sive to PHYSICIANS mind that none Of the
small intestines are cut and that the bladder is
uninjured. The growing desire Of the patient
for more nourishing food (which he has evinced
especially day. I am informed) indicates the
return of normal action on the part Of the
stomach. When saw him Mr. Garfield gave
many evidences of herculean constitution
and great strength of mind under trying or
deal he had no advice or suggestions to give,
but was, in short, . model patient I have al
ready and officially expressed my approval of

appear by tomorrow "wednesday the chances
OF the presidents recovery will perhaps be
quite even"

had grave doubts as to the recovery Of the
wounded president

ton special: The president continues in very
favorable condition. He has exhibited more
strength than at any time since the shooting,
and everybody is much encouraged. Mrs
Garfield was greatly refreshed by her ride this
morning. and more confident feeling prevails
at the White House this afternoon than has
been observed since Saturday. The doctors
say they are much encouraged BY the progress

The Brooklyn Eagles Washington CORE
spOndent says: The most important piece of
news to day from the bed room of the president
is that his wound has begun to discharge with
the term ''laudable pus," by which is meant y
discharge of matter indicating the absence of
conditions which have made them fear blood
poisoning This understand is the turning
point OF the case. Had the discharge been
either not laudable, or been from the inner in
stead of the outer wall Of the abdomen, the

authority of Dr. Bliss that the probabilities
are largely on the side of recovery. There is
no difficulty remaining which the doctors do
not feel confident of their ability to overcome.

about like boys at picnic. or rather like poll
hcians who have just learned that desperate

favor. As Secretary Hunt expressed it, 'eThis
