Special Dispatches to THE EVENING STAR
Lone BRANCH, N. j.. Sept IA, 1917 p. m.-
The day is bright and cheerful The President
has had good night and started out under the
most favO rable auspices. In addition to the
usual nourishment given him he ate for break
fast the better part of large pear sent by one
of the g uests at the Elberon Hotel Soon after
the morning dressing of the wound Secretary
Lincoln was admitted to the sick room.
SECRETARY LINcoLN's CALL
The President readily recognized the Secre-
tary and extended his hand, which, the Secre-
tary says. he shook more firmly than he ex-
pected. The visit was entirely commonplace.
The Secretary says that business was not
alluded to and that the President said nothing
that could be tortured into great saying of a
great man. Attorney General MacVeagh says
the Presi dent is really in much improved con-
dtion this morning. Doctors Bliss and Hamil-
ton decided that they would not put the patient
in
THE INVALID CHAIR
unless he made the request. The nurses are in
structed in case of such request to ring for the
help, and transfer him to the chair in the sheet
upon which he lies. The President said Just
now that yesterdays experience at the window,
where he could see the green grass, the soldier
walking his beat, the men and women in the
summer house and walking around, the fisher
men at sea, the ocean and the vessels, and
the bathers in the surf, made him feel for the
first time since he was shot that he was himself
again.
THE PATIENTS CONDITION
is in all respects pleasant, and all the advices
from the sick room more encouraging. 1t leaks
out, despite the reticence of the doctors, that
five pus bOils were found on the President s
back yesterday. which were punctured, and pus
from each exuded. DR.. Boynton says while
there may be no abscess on the PRESIDENT s
ungs, there are several pus cells, and that he is
afraid the lung will be the repetition of the
par Otid gland. 1t may be that
THE LUNG DISTURBANCE
can be readily overcome, but in chasing it away
the liver or kidneys may become affected: still
he is encouraged in the belief that the President
will eventually recover. He says the President
has chronic pyamia, and that the pus cells found
in the. back are the result of blood poisoning
DIR. Bliss. on the other hand, says the blood poi
soning has almost entirely been eliminated from
the Presidents system.
UNANIMOUS DENIAL.
All the doctors deny that there is now or has
been any paralysis of any bowel, and especially
OF the lower bowel. which was supposed to have
been affected by frequent enemata. While the
President was on the reclining chair yesterday
he saw his daughter Mollie and Lulu Rockwell
In the bath. DR.. Bliss says the Presidents atti-
tude in the chair was about 30 degrees DIR.
Boynton says the position was recumbent, and
it was simply change Of couch.
Second Dispatch.
TRIP TO FLORIDA PROPOSED.
LONG BRANCH, NJ, Sept. IA, 12:45 pm-Dr.
Bliss says that if the President continues to inn
prove, his recommendation will be to keep him
here until the 10th Of October; after that to get
him on board the TallapOosa and take him to
Florida.
