l1:3O a. m-Dr. Bliss in second interview
this morning, was asked whether there was
ANYTHING in the presidents condition to in
dictate that pyaemia, or blood poisoning,
was the cause of the presidents unfayorable
symptoms. He replied very emphatically
ia the negative aud said that there was no
/, connection whatever between the wound and
the present troubles, that the I'M
favorable symptoms were due entirely
to the condition of the patients stomach,
and that the attending surgeons were quite
confident that the treatment adopted would
remedy tLis. Ia referring to the appear
ance of the president, DR.. Bliss SAID that
when he was shot his weight was about 2l0

4 full beard this was not so perceptible as it
would otherwise be.

ance. considerable anxiety is manifested and
