DR.. Hamilton's in conversation on tho train h
Long Branch, expressed the opinion
that tho presidents removal from the malaria
atMosphere of Washington would soon prove
beneficial He did not attribute so much i'm
portance to the sea air as to the general change
Of scenery, etc. He thought the fact that the
presidents desire to leave Washington had been
granted would have good, moral effect upon
him, and he would commence to mend almost
immediately upon his arrival
Every ono acquainted with the case breads
some new complication. "Ten days have
never elapsed after one complication has en-
tirely disappeared before another one has made

the size Of hens egg on the presidents back,
directly over tho spine in the center Of the
body. 1t has been lanced. A discharge OF pus
followed. Itgave the physicians considerable
annoyance on account of its size and the
troublesome position in which it came No
mention of this abscess has been made by tho
attendant physicians.
The new alarm about tho president il caused
by the discovery Of what is called an absoess in
his lungs The abscess is metastatic abscess,
which jumrs Cd fsom the paro'a gland to the
lungs It will be necessary TO cut the lung and
wash the abscess a. the swollen gland was
washed. The abscess is in the lower lobe of
the right lung: The abscess il, Of course very
positive proof of py@mia, and other assesses
in other localities are liable to follow from the
same cause. For instance, one night he ex-
pected it to form in the liver. Assesses in the
lungs and the llability'ot others forming else
where, must be taken into account in estima-
ting the presidents chances foc recovery.
A dispatch says there is mystery about the
condition of the presidents lungs. DR.. Boyn-
ton AYERS positively that the continued cough
ing and expo ctoration comes from tho bron-
chial tubes, and says it is the result OF the
glandular swelling. He refuses to give an
opinion as to the gravity of the complication or
to state Whist, in his judgment, is the direct
cause The reason given for this retioence is
that Drs. Bliss and Hamilton have examined
the lungs more frequently than he (Boynton,)
and are therefore better qualified to speak. DR..
Boynton says that The lungs are the chief
source of annoyance at present DR.. Bliss
said that day that he bad examined the lungs
and they were perfectly sound He thought
that when the ball entered the body it might
have severed some of the Tissues on the ex-
IRENE lower edge of the diaphragm, producing
slight congestion, but of this there were 20
traces. Dr. Reyburn shares DR.. Doyntons
