ture OF the wound, the situation is as favorable
as 1t possibly could be. Regarding the crisis.
the doctor said: "If the President passes
through to-day without losing strength, it VIII
De exceedingly encouraging. The crisis, how
ever, cannot be definitely fixed as there may
be change at any time" The doctor said
that the examinations which have been made
confirm the opinion that the ball is located In
the neighoorhood OF the liver. The Presidents
diet consists almost exclusively or milk and
lime water, which he has retained very We'll.
He vomited slightly early this morning. The
doctor. In conclusion. said: "We all know that
the President is In an exceedingly precarlous
