EXECUTIVE MANSION, 1865 A. NJ
The continuous fever which has been
the most marked feature OF the Presl.
dents case for the past three or ioui
days subsidized during the night, and the
patients temperature this morning was
normal ior the first time since Sunday.
The breaking of the fever was followed
by profuse perspiration, and the rather
high pulse showed by the morning bull
letin was probably due to the weakness
resulting thereleom. The discharge oi
pus at the morning dressing was unlver:
sally copious, showing that the wound
| is now perfectly and thoroughly drain
ed. The drainage tube was put in again
and the wound washed ont with weak
solution of carholic acid and water.
Since the dressing the patient has taken
nourishment in the shape OF milk and
lime water, and at this hour is quiet and
| comfortable. The surgeons report that
he is doing well.

Had Very Comfortable Day.
| EXECUTIVE MANSION. WAsHTSGToN,
| August 10, 4:30 P.N-Dr. Bliss I, porIs,
4:3O p. N, that, notwithstanding the
high pulse shown 10y the noon bulletin,
the President had very comfortable
day. The rapidity OF the pulse was an
indication OF weakness, resulting from
the operation and from the diminished
quantity OF food given him yesterday
and Monday, but this is transient con-
dition and will not, il is thought, last
longer than tomorrow Already the
pulse has fallen six beats since noon.
Respiration and temperature are only
little above normal. The patient has Ia
ken more nourishment to-day than at
any time since performing the opera
ton, and his condition is, in the opin-
ion of all the surgeons, much hetter
than it was tSennty-four hours ago.
The President performed, this afternoon,
his first official act since the second OF
July, by signing the formal requisition
for extradition of a criminal, who some
time since took refuge in Canada and is
now in the custody OF the Canadian au-
thorities, pending the action OF this
Government.
