Notwithstanding the bulletins issu.
ing from Elberon, and the learned
representations of DR.. Joseph Pulit-
yer, DIR. Frank Hamilton has also
something to say. He said toa friend,
q guest at the Elberon hotel, that the
chances for recovery are now good,
and that there were no active disturb
ing elements in the case, nor indica-
ton of new complications, although
the latter are possible; that the sep
tic condition of the presidents blood
will necessarily cause fluctuations Of
the pulse, temperature and respira-
ton from time to time until it
is entirely eliminated; that he consid-
cred it safe to say that the president
will overcome the disturbances which
may arise from impurity Of the blood.
but that it is altogether probable that
various annoyances will be occasioned
before the patient is entirely rid OF
blood poisoning. The doctor SAID
that all this would DO accomplished in
about five weeks.
