ORIGIN AND PROGRESS Of LUNG TROUBLE.
DR., Bliss has made statement Us to the
origin and progress OF the lung trouble,
He said the lung trouble began with by
postatic congestion, caused in part by his
being in a recumbent position, and be-
cause his side was injured by the wound
Their attention was directed to the lungs
weeks ago. They carefully examined them
frequently, both by osculation and percus-
sion, and found an area and extent Of
dullness. This was previous to the suppu-
ration Of thelparotid gland The parotid
swelling created an inflammation, which
extended from the gland to the muCus
membrane OF the throat and larynX, and
lafterward invaded bronchial passages and
was attracted to the right lung rather than
to the left, because the injury was on that
side and there was slight congestion there,
1These two conditions were met in the right
lung. There was finally added to that
blood poisoning, which in course OF time
was sufficient to develop in the lung an
inclination to abscess. This was not
developed till within three or four days
As to the Presidents condition DR.. Bliss
ssays 1t Is very bad. He has chance, II hel
should die the doctor does not expect
MAI ia will die within day or two, UNI
iesS embol lism should vet in, and he might
live a week. His vitality and resistlyeI
power arc anom&!ous They are perfectly
wonderful. DIR, AgIew and himself bothII
remarked this, Notwithstanding the badI
history OF this case. Yet when one entered
the room and saw the firm, reliant express
ion upon the Presidents face and his MAJ
ner of speaking, II was enough, the doctor
said, to take one almost Oft his feet. DIR.
Bliss concluded by saying, "hope is buried
only in tho grave"
Later, DR.. Bliss says There is no imme.|
diate emergency in the Presidents condi.l
,dltiOn. He called for n handgass, AFTER
the morning dressing and said: can
understand why am so weak when lOokl

when the parotid gland was infamed.
There Is no evidence Of repair this morning.
