rnc Parotid Swelling Sensibly Diminished.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. %, II 4. NJ
At the morning dressing Of the presidents
wounds the parOtid swelling was found to
have diminished sensibly in size since yes
terday morning. There had been pen
tiful discharge Of pus during the night
from the three openings. Another yellow
spot was discovered Oh the side of the face
this morning, which, when pricked, per-
mitted 4 free discharge of pus from another
pocket. The wound in the body was found
to be doing we'll. 1t still continues to dis
charge freely. The character Of the pus
discharged has not changed materially
since yesterday, but is thicker and healthier
in character than what flowed from the
wound few days since. While dressing
and cleansing the wound this morning the
catheter inferred to Il depth of
fully twelve inches.
Tho Presidents 0uery.
DR.. Boynton, who was in the sick room
the greater part OF last night, says the
president passed 4 good night, sleeping
most Of the time. His sleep was more
natural than that OF any night during the
past week. During the intervals Of wake
fulness his mind has been perfectly clear.
Once labout 9 a. m.) when awake and
while taking some nourishmcnt he re
marked to DR.. Boynton, evidently referring
to his several relapses, 81 wonder how
many more stations I will have to stop
att
DR.. EOynton in Good Spirits.
DR.. Boynton says the president looks
better and feels better this morning. The
doctors hope is stronger this morning,
owing to the fact that the president has
held his own through another day and
night. He will feel content and satisfied
with continuance OF this stationary period
for few days after that he hopes the
work of repair and recuperation will COM
.rcncc.
