THE Presidents physicians apparent
ly disagree as to the cause and extent of the
difficulty with his right lung. DIR. Boynton
is quoted as saying (on the 12th): "There is
no doubt but that an abscess has formed on
the Presidents right lung, but if no further
trouble Of similar nature occurs l think
the patient has sufficient vitality to over
come if. The trouble is not materially
worse now than before we left Washing
ton. I attribute the complication to
Chronic blood poisoning" DR.. Bliss holds
that the difficulty with the lung is merely
"limited tubular Inflammation, caused by
the wound or track of the bullet; that there
are no indications of an abscess, and
that the patients vitality will over
come the complication. The glandu-
lar swelling has entirely subsidized
and the wound is apparently in healthy
condition and healing splendidly.'' All ac-
counts agree that this was one Of the Presi-
dents best days since he was shot. He was
feeling so well, in fact, that Postmaster
General James had quite long interview
with him and was very favorably impressed
with the improvement that had taken place.
