UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, pm.
The increase in the pulse and tenn
perature of the President since morn
ing is attributed by the attending sur
geons to heat Of room and to the pro-
cess Of suppuration, which is now 60
ing on in the wound near the surface
Of the body. This process, which is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
pus, is entirely natural aud is an ex-
pected and necessary result Of the in
jury at this stage Of the case.
WASHINGTON, July 8-The Pres;-
dents pulse this morning receded
again, though he did not pass as good
a night as night before. The storm of
yesterday evening appeared to have
some depressing effect, but toward
morning the symptoms showed a ral-
lying from that. DR.. Bliss said atone
o'clock this afternoon: Everything is
most satisfactory, and the next bulle
tin will show continuation OF favora-
Bile symptoms.
