81 OF the r1SnG lung WAS 1OuIQ que TO lVpO-
& static congestion. This was caused by
& proximity to the infamed diaphragm
D perforated by the bullet. the infamma-
& ton being aggravated by nearness to
zthe fractured rib. This congestion in
Hcreased in intensity, though not in area,
lowing to the long-continued recumbent
opposition of the patient. There was
suo difficulty IN breathing, and no
Ncough at that time, nor until the parotid
gtrouble. When the latter became ag-
8gravated the pus from the gland found
Ats way into the mouth, and the cough
xing efforts to throw it off being diff
cult and continuous, induced an infam-
Emation of the mucous membrane of the
Smouth. The pus continuing to cause
#this cough, the inflammation extended
VITO the throat, then to the larnyx, and
&thence to the bronchial tubes downward
$This inflammation naturally extended
Ato the right, because the patient nearly
Gall the time lay on that side, and when
Nit reached the neighborhood of the af-
Elected lung was naturally invited in that
&direction. During all this time the sep
Atic condition of the blood was doing its
work, and when the lung and the bron-
achial affection at last met they found al
Sderanged and enfeebled system at al
9yery low grade. Still the LESSONS
Awere all repairing at this
time. The conjunction of the
1.-TWO infammations came at the best OPP
Sporiunity for the dissemination of the
#combined activities of each, and there
B was spreading of the united troubles
a The healing OF the lie ons was stopped
Nat about this time, and the repairing
8 process was arrested. We do not know
yet if the result has been deposit OF
a pus in the lungs. If any pus is now in
q the right lung it is not indicated, and
a the deposit must have occurred within

amount would be extremely small. I'll

8 fifteen minutes. The febrile rise fol-
q lowing continued until y o'clock, mid
u night, during which time the pulse
n ranged from 112 to 1870. The sweating
q that followed was quite profuse. The
n cough, which was troublesome during
h the chill. gave but little annoyance
during the remainder of the night
a This morning at 8 o'clock the tempera-
u ture was 80 s.; pulse, LOG; and febrjle

q The President had another chill of
"a considerable severity this morning
n which, following SO soon after the chill

Mdeed. His pulse became more frequent
Mand feeble than at any time since he
Mrecovered from the immediate shock
b of the wound, and his general condi-
q ton was more alarming during the day.
AHis system has reacted to some extent,
n and he passed the afternoon and even
ling comfortably. At this hour he is

h expected during the night. There ha;
Hbeen no gain whatever in strength, and
q there is therefore no decrease of anxiety
