manned only a short time.
There was no material change in the presi-

and his temperature for the first time since
morning rose above the normal point. His
pulse and temperature both reached about
their maximum at the evening examination,

What do you think of the condition of the pres;-

Improvement to a greater or less degree

the same as last night. 40. his fever is little
higher, but it did not come early yesterday.
but there is tride mora of 1t. Don't
regard that fact, however, as having
any great importance. 1t is easy enough account
ell for"
In what way?"
There was good deal of confined pus in the
parotd swelling The patient is very sensible to
the influence of retained pus; soon as pus accu-
mu:atcs anywhere his temperature shows it. We
got 1t pretty much all out at the evening dressing,
but it ready had its effect. The fever will soon
subside now"
How does the glanduar swelling look?"
Better than at any time heretofore: better than
expected it would. 1t has perceptby diminished
in size, and the pus pockets are running together.
We shall probably make another inc;son to-mor
row and release auether considerable quantity of
pus, which will be really at that time to come out "
DO you look for further speedy improvement

1 think it will look good deal better tomorrow,
but of course it will be several days before We cease
to feel anxious about it."
What is the state of the wound?"
The wound is doing WE'LL 1t usually shows the
most improvement in the morning, but is looking
better even tonight. don't think that now the
presidents life is in any direct danger from the
wound"
1T is reported that the ball has changed location.
Is such the case?"
Yes; We think that the ball is making
its way down deeper in the cavity of the pe!vis,
probably in the direction of the rectum."
How do you know ths?
I'VE don't know it, but we think so, and we base
our opinion partly on the evidence of touch and
partly on the patients own sensations.
DO you regard this downward movement of the
ball as an unfortunate circumstances
Not at ALL rather the contrary. It is Very likely
that the ball will have to come out some time, and
we can get at it in the part Of the body toward
which it is going as well as in the original loca'
