WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 10:55 a. m.--The con-
tinuous fever which has been the most marked
feature of the Presidents case the past three
or four days subsided entirely during the
night, and the patients temperature tGls
morning WAS normal for the first time since
Tuesday. The breaking of the fever was fol-
lowed by profuse perspiratiop, and the rather
high pulse shown by the morning bulletin is
probably due to weakness resulting therefrom.
The discharge of pus at the morning dressing
was unusually copious, showing that the
wound is now perfectly and thoroughly
drained The drainage tube was put In again
aud the wound washed out with weak acid
and water Since the dressing the patient has
taken nourlshment in the shape of milk and
line water, and at this hour is comfortable.
The surgeons say he Is doing well.
