1850 T.. ~
Up to about :; o'clock this afternoon the
President had Il very satisfactory day, Ill
though the extreme heat caused him Il good
deal Of discomfort, and acted 10 some extent
1lnfavora5ly upon his general colnlitlon Tn
account Of the strong hot wind FROM the
south, 1T was found impracii,able, even at
the full w0rk.n. capacity Ut the refrigerat-
j;l= machines, 10 keep the temperature Of the
patients room down, without closing tho
doors and windows, and this it WIS not
thought prudent to do. Cold air enough
was furnished br the machines, but, instead
of filling the room and crowdi.,g out the
heated air, as it had heretofore tlon.
OH warm days, the cold air Itself
was swept away almost as fast as it came
from the pipes by the hot south wind which
blew strongly throughout the mansion. The
thermometer in the patients room, there
fore for the first time i'll several weeks,
ranged from s. 10 ~. This temperature, Of
course. operated to the Presidents Iisa.lvan-
age i'll his present weak condition, and his
afternoon fever WIS higher than usual.
There was no Indication. however, Of any
other cause for increased ftbrile rise. The
discharge Of pns at the evening
dressing was satisfactory. There were
no symptoms of malaria, and, with
the single exception Of Il higher bodily
the condition of the patient at
: O'Clock seemed quite as good rs
yesterday, il not better: Soon after the
evening examination, the fever began to
a5ate, the President went to sleep naturally,
without anody,lcs, and has rested quietly !
ever since. Before 10 O'Clock the febri1e |
rise had entirely subsidized and, ut this hour,
tile patients pulse is again below 100, and |
Ills temperature is normal. lie is sleeping |
peacefully, and, as the weather has grown |
cooler, with refreshing rain, there is every
probability that lie will have Il good night.
