Cp TO THE ,,nd the President continued
tn improve and his certain recovery was
no longer considered doubtful. But the
dispatches of the ,3rd again showed gloom
over the country Violent chills, succeeded
hv high fever, pulse at 1870, rapidly sue
ceeded each other. Drs. Agncw and Ham
ilton, tine consulting surgeons, were sum
,noned and hastened by special trains to the
bedside Of the patient. Although various
rumors were adoat rs to the cause OF the
sudden change, in the Presidents condi-
ton, the view generally taken by the phy.
sicians was that the wound had become
stopped up at some point in tine track OF
the bullet and consequent danlminS OF
pus had caused the uniavorable turn. \
deposit Of pus was subsequently discoved
some distance below the external opening
oi the wound and il was decided to make
q flesh opening at the point of accun'ula-
ton, as Offering better means OF escape
for the accumulated matter. The follow
