DIR. Boynton at half-past nine this even
ing gave the following statement of the
present aspect of the Presidents case: ''In
my opinion all the patients symptoms to-
night show marked improvement. In the
first place, his mind, which was for week
more or less affected by the initiated and i'm
poyeri,hea condition of his blood, is now
perfectly clear and active. Up to Friday
night or Saturday morning l don't think
his will-pOwer had had for six or
seven days any sustaining influence
upon his body. He had no strong
will-power. Since yesterday morning,
however, there has been in this respect
noticeable change. Not only is ne more
cheerful and hopeful, but his will has re-
covered its power of sustained effort, and it
is now cooperating with all his vital ener.
gies in the struggle of his whole being for
life. The condition Of his stomach, so far
as ability to take food is concerned, contin-
ues good, and l think there is further
slight improvement in the processes of as
similation and nutrition. He has swallowed
to-day more than thirty ounces of liquid
nourishment, consisting chiefly of beef
Juice, peptOniZed milk. and milk pOrridge,
and has had in addition two nutritive enc
mata. This supply of food is entirely ade-
Guate, il properly assimiiated."
DR. kayburn said at a late hour tonight:
The hopes of YESTERDAY have, I think,
been fully realized. and l feel greatly en-
cOuraged. The appearance of the PATIENTS
wound is better. GranuiatiOn more perfect,
and the pus discharged less watery. The
gland has rot changed 4 great deal. l think
by tomorrow morning II will be ready for
pricking in another place, at least such are
the indications now. 1t is discharging freely
from all openings, and, although 1t has not
decreased much in size, its tension is some
what relieved. Not single feature of the
case has grown worse to-day, and the gen.
eral condition shows q marked improve.
