FAVORABLE.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, 1O:45 a. m-The
presidents condition continues favorable,
and at this hour he is very comfortable.
No material change has occurred in his
pulse or temperature since the last official
bulletin. He has partaken of lime water
and milk alternately with meat juice, with
relish. When the wound was dressed, the
cotton was found well saturated with pus
of healthy character The surgeons say
there has been a gradual and very salts
factory discharge of pus ever since the in
cisiOn was made.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 20. = The
presidents condition at this hour is regard
ed by the surgeons as extremely favorable
and encouraging; his pulse is 1O4 and tenn
perature and respiration normal The dis
charge of pus is as copious as could be ex
pected and its character perfectly healthy
There is no indication of fever at present
but it is probably the slight febriles rise
will occur this evening as it did last week
before the formation of the pus cavity.
BETTER FEELING.
The feeling of anxiety which prevailed
yesterday at the White House and through
out the city has now disappeared. There is
no better barometer to indicate
the presidents condition than the ways OF
those about the white house, and the gen
eral air of that place. The eye can tell at
once whether things are favorable or not
without asking question. This morning
everybody was
BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL.
A reflex from the sick room and opin
ions of the doctors. Nobody was gloomy
nobody wore the anxious look of yester
day, the happy change had its effect il
that there was very little inquiry as to tn
presidents condition, and once more doc
tors came from the sick room without beinl
seized on by thirty or more people whC
have been waiting for just
such an opportunity to hear from the sicl
bed Drs. Reyburn and Bliss were will
the President all last night, but they tool
little maps, as the President slept so sound
ly.
Thirty-six hourse have now elapsed since
the president had his last chill and there
are as yet no indications of another. Witt
the exception of slightly increased weak
ness, caused by the relapse of Saturday
his condition does not differ materially
from that of the early part of last week
The surgeons are now assembling for nee
essary consultation and within the mex
hour an official report will probably b.
made of the patients pulse and tempera
ture.
DR. Agnew will return. Either DR.. Ag
new or Hamilton will remain with thu
president until indications are such as t.
show there is no necessity for their pres
ence. At noon the presidents condition
was still favorable, and he was very comfort
able
BRIGHT AGAIN.
DR. Bliss said this morning as he cam
out of the sick room that everything be
gan to look bright again. When ashe
of the appearance of the wound he sal
there had been good discharge, what b
called an unusually good discharge of pus
The flow had not been as great as befor
the forming of the pus cavity, for the ma
ter collected for twenty-four hours wa
then drawn off, the only discharge in tn
meantime being only small
continuous flow; the discharge this morn
ing, DR. Bliss said, though not large, wa
satisfactory and healthy. The Presiden
passed very
GOOD NIGHT
getting good deal of sleep after 70 o'clock
and resting comfortably; before that hou
there was little fever, but it was no
marked. AS compared with the night before
1t was as quiet rest to night of pain AM
tossing When the cotton was removes
from the mouth of the wound this morn
ing, II was found to be saturated with pus
showing continuous discharge that wa
as satisfactory as before the formation o
the pus cavity. The President is now tax
ing lime water and milk, with beef iuic
over toast at regular intervals.
NO MATERIAL CHANGE
had occurred in his pulse or temperatur
since the last official bulletin Surgeon
say there has been gradual and very sat
isfactory discharge of pus ever since tn
nclsslon was made. DR. Bliss said at 1,
O'Clock that every thing shows the DANCE
Irom ,stoppage of the flow of pus ha,
passeu and the president is doing abou
as wen as before the relapse occurred
