The Physicians Cheerful at 1880 a. ID.
Executive MANSION, 1880 A.. NJ
The physicians have succeeded IN re-
hevlng the pain in the feet and legs, OF
which the President this morning COM
planned, and which was due TO the lnlu-
ry to the nerves leading to the lower eX-
tremlties. The symptom was not re-
garded as dangerous one, but the pain
il allowed TO continue might act unfav-
orable bv causing restlessness. The
Presidents condition in other respects
has not changed since the date OF the
last bulletin. He is now resting quietly
and his physicians continue to be cheer
iul and hopeful.
No Material Change at ll:5o.
EXECUTIVE MANSION. ll:50 A. NJ
There is no material change in the Pres
dents condition. DR.. Agnew, eminent
surgeon OF Philadelphia, who came mere
this morning TO consult with the freSl-
dent and attending physicians, said that
in his Judgment there are some features
oi the Presidents case which are ex-
tremely encouraging. Among these Is
the fact that the kidneys and intestlnes
are entirely Uninjured and capable OF
performing their functions. The liver Is
lacerated 10 some eXtent,and large nerves
leading from the spine 10 the lower eN-
tremiues have been 50 injured aS TO
cause pain, which the President suffers
in his ieet. The stomach, however, re-
tains nOurishment, and the patient ls
slowly gathering strength to meet Sec
oniary Inflammation.
The Feeling at 1890 Not Hopeful.
