UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN
| EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 81 D. m--
The slight increase in the pulse and tenn
perature of the President since morning is
attributed by the attending surgeons to the
heat of noon, and to the process of suppura-
ton which is now going on in the wound
near the surface of the body. This process,
which is accompanied by slight discharge
of pus is entirely natural, and is an ex-
pected and necessary result of the injury at
this stage of the case.

! The following telegram was sent by the
attending surgeons to the consulting sur
geons this afternoon
The Presidents condition has not changed
materially since our telegram to you yester.
day During the afternoon and evening he
was again troubled with acid e1uctions. and
the administration of nutrients was again
suspended for several hours. One-quarter
of grain of morphia was administered
hypodermieally at $50 p. m., and was fol
lowed at once by tranquil sleep.
Towards midnight, however, he became
restless and complained good deal of mus
cular soreness in the feet, and of pain in the
ankle joint, so that we were on the point of
administering an additional anodyne when
he fell asleep, and on awaking was so free
from pain that it was not given. After l a.
IN. he passed the night TRANQUILITY,
sleeping eomposedly much of the
time. At intervals since that houl
he has taken an ounce of albumenizec
chicken broth alternating with an ounce o.
milk, to which a teaspoonful of very ole
and excellent rum was added. All this hai
been retained, well as five grains of sui
phate of quinia taken this morning
at o'clock. The yellowish tinge o
skin mentioned in our last tele
gram, has sensihly diminished
When the autiseptic dressing was renewed
this morning the wound was found to b,
discharging small quantity of healthy
looking pus. The reaction accompanying
the establishment of suppuration is, a
might be expected, marked by slight ris.
of temperature and pulse, as compared will
corresponding hours of yesterday. This
however, we do not regard as un
favorable under the circun
, stances, and should not be suppresse,
if it continued throue b this afternoon, ant
were repeated in the afternoon and evening
for several days. The record since our las
telegram is as follows
Yesterday at $50 p. m., pulse 106, tenn
perature 1902, respiration %. This morn
ing at $50 a. m, pulse 96, temperatur,
99.2, respiration %. At p. H., pulse los
temperature 101.4, respiration "a
