bulletin At the morning examination
and dressing of the President his tempera-
ture was 1913, pulse 10S, respiration 81.
Thu fluctuations OF his pulse during the
night varied from 116 to 100, his tempera-
ture during this time not deviating much
from normal. He slept quite well and
took nourishment at proper intervals. His
cough was not troublesome, and the ex-
pectoration moderate. The discharge from
the wound is more healthy, and the color
of the granulation is slightly improved.
ELBERoS. Sept. 17.-Dr. Boynton says he
feels better about the Presidents condi-
ton this morning than yesterday morn
ing. He does not consider that there is
any marked improvement, however. except
that the wound looks better. The Cabinet
is expected to arrive this evening. De-
fibrinated beef blood is being. admins
tered to the President by enema. Ar
engagements are being made to nave fresh
blood brought here daily. The patient
had two ounces last night and three this
morning. Good results are expected from
this treatment.
DIR. Bliss does not think there has been
any marked change for the better in the
Presidents case. The wound, however,
looks better this morning, the pus being
of a more healthy character. S%uppuration
from the parotid gland is a trifle less han
it has been. The lung trouble is not in
creased in area, and is considered to be in
a better condition. His cough is less an
noying, and the expectoration Is not SO ex-
haustiye. He is better to-day than yester-
6av. His pu1se is now 106.
1P. M.-rhe President had rigor about
IL o'clock this morning. It lasted about
90 minutes, during which time his pulse
ran up to 1877. After the rigor passed of
the President vomited considerably. His
pulse at this hour has decreased to 100,
temperature 101, respiration "a. After the
rigor passed off the President commenced
perspiring freely. During the prevalence
Of the rigor he was delirious. His situa-
ton is decidedly critical, inasmuch as
there is great probability that more chi'ls
will occur. Ii now transpires that there
we're indications Of rigor yesterday. The
President also suffered from overhesting
last night, being troubled with pains in
his stomach.
Boynton, in answer to inquiries. shortly
after the rigor became known, said it was
only one Of the many. unfavorable symp-
toms which must be looked for ct this
stage Of the case, and at the same time
repeating the remarks made heretofore to
the effect that everything terrible follows
the existence Of chronic pyaemia. Great
apprehension prevails.
$50 P. Mp to this time no further
rigors have occurred. The last informa-
ton from the sick room was that the
patient was more comfortable. His pulse
remains at 100 and his temperature and
respiration are still high. The occurrence
Of rigor OF this time Is conceded as an evil
dence of acute pyaemia, and great fears
are felt that another chill will follow. The
situation at this hour may be briefly stated
to be q race between exhaustion and vital
ity.' The President overeame the rigors
which occurred In July, and it is thought
that possibly he has sufficient strength
left to overcome the present crisis. The
| opinion prevails that the rigor was occa-
| stoned by q collection Of pus In the track
Of the wound, but DR.. Boynton's opinion
is that it is the result Of a. abscess In the
right lung.
81. M.-The President has been sleep
ing almost continuously since the rigor
| passed off. He awoke o few minutes ago,
and after being sponged off expressed him.
self as feeling better than before the chill
occurred. His pulse is now lis.
DR.. Agnew has just said that the Presi-
dent is doing as we'll as could be expected
under the circumstances, but there il no
certainty that there will not be another
chill.
