morning, DR.. BoyUton said he felt very
much encouraged at the situation. The
Presldent's mind, he says, is clear, his
pulse is steady, and he has this morn

beef tea and porridge. On Friday last,

But, more than this, he also thinks the
blood poison is being more rapidly
eliminated aud, a. d result, tie food is
better asStmiiatrd, and is being trans
formed into richer and purer blood,
which, AS it Circulatas through the sys-

The danger to be apprehendcd fron

another opening was discovered, from
which there was o satisfactory dis
charge. This discharge from the ear
and from The incision was also more
free tlan yesterday, ard the swelling
has sensibly diminished.
On ,he whole the doctor said if these
