4 DR.. Boynton says that during the prevalence8
'sof the rieor the Presidents pulse went up to9
S143 aud was very feeble. At this hour it has
decreased TO about l4O. The patient is ex-s
stremely weak and there is cause for greatA
1alarm.
Dr. Bliss has made statement as to thea
forigin and progress of the Presidents lungs
TROUBLES. He said the flung troubles beganA
with hypostatic congestion, which was caused
Elm part by his being in recumbent position, L
abecause the side was injured by the wound.s
8The parotid swelling created inflammation
(Which extended from the gland to the mucus$
fmembrane OF the throat and larynx, and after
award invaded the bronchial passages and wasR
gattracted to the right lung rather than to the 1
cleft, as the injury was on that side and thereS
was slight congestion there. These two condi-s
tions met in the right lung. There was finallys
added to that the ocees of blood poisoningE
which in the course of time was sufficient to-
kdevelop in the right lung an inclination to an
Sabscess. This was not developed until within
! three or four days. s
