asked. In replying tho doctor said ii was
impossible to say where it would end should

might seriously affect the bones in the face
in the vicinity of irritation, and further than
this, that there would be danger of impure
matter which is gathered about the gland
penetrating the brain. In addition 10 these
risks it would be considerable tax on the
little strength the president has loft. The
doctor considered glandular complica-
ton the most serious feature
in the case at the present time. DR.. Wood

apprehension, but the statements OF
the attending physicians 10 The
effect that The vomiting was
not occssioned by any gastric disturbances
of tho stomach, have been accepted ns less
serious than if that organ had refused to
perform its functions. This is the explaRa-
tion of the vomiting, given by DR.. Bias. Ii
appears contrary TO the impression which
prevailed up to o'clock, that there was
vomiting during tho early afternoon, shortly
after O'clock. At that hour the president
experienced considerable difficulty with
phlegm, which had secretoi ia his throat
and 10 the exerton TO raise excited his siom-
ach to such an extent that vomiting ensued.
This was some lime after the last portion oil
nourishmsnt had been naturally administered.
The theory Of the phlegm in the throat
is very generally accepted.

ishment since the vomiting occurred. lie
