Improvement in the Presidents eondi
ton which began Saturday has con
tinusd without interruption TO the
present Attending surgeons agree
that the case shows q marked aud de-
e.ded change for tie better, aud WHICH
holds out promises Of permanence.
The Presidents attendants take even &
more sanguiue view, aud manifest a
hopefulness which verges upon assured
confidence. Even the patient himself
feels this strong current Of renewed
hope, and his reinvigorated mental en-
ergy co-operates more effectively than
ever with his rallying vital powers. as
stated In the early morning bulletins
The patient had a better night than
any time before the middle of last
week. His sleep was still broken at
rather short intervals. but was .aore
natural and peaceful than heretofore.
There is less disturbance from the
swollen parotid gland. He was
sponged eli with alcohol and water
every three or four hours during the
night. The morning examination
showed that the favorable conditions of
Sunday were still fully maintained, and
10 the judgment Of some the patient is
decidedly better. Another slight in
cision made ut the morning dressing in
the right cheek gave the patient some
pain and caused his pulse to rise some
what. 1t soon fell back TO 104.
The patient rested quietly through
out the morning and his pulse was
noticeably steadier than yesterday
evening. Whenever be fell asleep his
pulse went down to 100, During the
process OF sponging off aud as often as
he was otherwise excited or disturbed,
it would rise from four to six beats.
IL was, however, ct all times full and
strong in character. During the morn
ing the patient took his full usual al
10 Sance of poIrishment, including,
however. some variations in the shape
Of chicken broth and milk toast.
AT the noon examination his pulse
was 100. but his temperature and res
piration continued normal. Occasions
ally some personal friend CT the Pres
ident would enter the executive man
sion with an anxious expression of
face In search OF information. In q
few moments he would come out smil-
ing, eoniden. and treasured. The
members of the Cabinet were all here
this morning, but were so well satisfied
With the outlook that they remained
only short time.
There was no material change in the
Presidents condition during the after
noon until abcut quarter past four.
when the usual febrile rise began and
his temperature for the first time since
morning rose above the normal point,
The pulse and temperature both reach
ed about their maximum at the even
ing examination, when they were no.
1905.
DIR Bliss tonight said that he is be.-
ter. Almost every symptom shows i'm
proyemens to greater or less degree.
His pulse is the Same as last night,
ITO. His fever is slightly higher. 1t
did not come on as early as yesterday,
but there is no tritle more of it. l
don't regard that fact. however. as hav-
ing any great Importance. 1t is easy
enough TO account for it.
