Long BRANCH, September II, mid
night-The figures contained in :he eve
ming bulletin occasioned much anxiety,
especially when it was ascertained that
there had been more or less fever all
day, notwithstanding tho announce
ment made at noon that the tempera-
ture and respiration were about normal.
1t appears that this statement was the
result of an estimate rather than actual
examination, and when the examina-
ton really occurred short time after,
Colonel Rockwell made the statement
referred to. The temperature was
found TO be above normal rs is shown
by the evening bulletin.
STATEMENT OF DIR. BoYNToN.
DR.. Boynton said: "The President
has not had quite so favorable day to-
day. During Thursday and Friday
there was quite decided Improvement
in his condition, but on Friday last, late
in the evening, tie temperature and
pulse commenced to increase. He is
not materially worse than yesterday,
perhaps, but he has made no gain.
~ consider the lung trouble the most
serious feature in the case. think the
President has sufficient vitality to carry
him through the present trouble and on
to recovery unless new Developments
of the same nature occur. The trouble
is located in the lower and posterior por-
ton of the right lung, and Ii in my
Judgment the result of the bad cOndi-
ton of the blood. There are no indica-
tons of it resulting fatally, but there is
great danger of encountering more
trouble of the same kind
