patient. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Me
Yeah who last night was extremely
respondent, is feeling in good spirits
tins morning and thinks the change
during the night almost marvellous.
1t havingA been decided to issue an
official bulletin but twice per day, is
another good indication and tends
to prove that the surgeons do not
anticipate the recurrence of any,
thing serious. The weather TODAY
is said to be the hottest of the sea-
son-900 in the shade with a land
breeze blowing.
1.15 p.m.-1he President is re-
ported as passing a good day. The
excessive heat affects him some
what, but his general condition is
encouraging and he is holding the
gain which he made during the
night.
2 p.hl.-At the noon examination
the Presidents pulse was ia, tenn
perature Slightly above normal, res
piratiOn IS. Dr.. BOyntOn says the
patients condition is entirely salts
factory, and he now expects daily
improvement.
2.35 p.m.-The President has held
his own during the day, and Gen.
Swain thinks he is stronger. He eX-
presses himself as feeling much
stronger than in Washington, and
enjoys the sea air exceedingly. DR..
BOyntOn says his pulse at noon,
though ia, was good and firD, and
the temperature Indicated very little
fever. On the whole, he says, the
improvement Of last night shows
the patient has considerable vitality
left. l expect to be able to give you
better news IN the course of the
next thirty-SiX or thWty-eight hours.
The heat IS greater than for years {;
from 600 to IOO0. The Presidents
quarters, however, are quite COM
Portable.
Long Branch, AFTER the issu-
ing of the evening bulletin, several
surgeons left Francklyn Cottage for
dinner DR.. Hamilton stated that
the. exceedingly hot day was some
what unfavOrable 10 the progress of
the President as we'll as to his COM
fort. The evening bulletin was a
concise and correct statement of the
situation. Tonight had an exceed
ingly favorable outlook.
DR.. Bliss says that tonight the
President viii he etterin more han
one respect. Has there been any
marked changer was asked. L do
not pretend 20 say there has yet
when do You expect marked
change for betCer:' ooh. IN the
course Of a few days" Have you
any reason for expecting such good
results ?" The indications are
favorable. The wound and gland
are both doing we'll and the only
troublesome feature is the extreme
weakness of the President This
extreme hot weather is no better
for him than for You and me. When
we get The sea breeze, l expect Il
more favorable change. The patient
is comfortable tonight, there being
M unfayorable symptoms what
ever"
Dr.. 3 .rneS expressed the opinion
that, Notwithstanding the extreme
heat, Oh / he whole the President was
better off here than he would be in
Washington. Woodward said he
thought it probable that the Presi-
dent would be better than he is if
the weather was cooler. He
did not wish - be under
stood as saying he was dis
satisfied with the progress made,
tonight, however. Late tonight
Reyburn said in substance: Wmi.
the President has not gained a great
deal Of ground, to-day, he had GER
tainly held his own and had entirely
recovered from the effects Of the |
journey. There was no reason for !
believing the journey injured him |
in any manner whatsoever, and |
to-night'S fever was attributable to |
the usual febTile rise, and TO the |
almost unbearable heat Of the day. |
While the President did not exactly |
suffer from the heat, he kept look |
ing out On the ocean, as if patiently |
awaiting cooler breeZes. If cool |
weather should set in, improve
ment will, in all probability, be
most rapid and the case more en-
cOuraging generally. An improve
ment will not naturally occur until
the patient becomes thoroughly ac-
Elberon, n. j., !, 6 pm. =
Notwithstanding the eXcep-
tional heat OF the weather,
the Thermometer in the Presidents
bedroom rising to % at $50 in the
there was a breeze most
of the day, so that the President was
comparatively comfortable. He has
taken his nOurishment regularly,
and has slept at intervals during the
day. At 12.15 pm. his pulse was
ia, temperature 96.4, respiration IS.
Since then there has been some rise
of temperature, though less than
Yesterday, and the pulse has some
what diminished in frequency. At
the evening dressing the appearance
Of the wound was favorable. at
present his pulse is 1913, temperature
l01, respiration Is.
