feature; but. more than this, he also thinks
that the blood poison is being more
rapidly eliminated, and, as q result,
food is better assimulated and
is being transformed into richer and purer
blood, which, as it circulates through the
system, gives new life and vitality to the
President The danger to be a2prehended
from the glandular complication is, he thinks,
less this morning at the morning dressing.
To-day another opening was discovered, from
which there was satisfactory discharge.
The discharge from the ear and from the
incision was also more free than yester-
day, and the swelling has sensibly diminished.
On the whole the doctor says if these favor
able conditions of mind and stomach con-
tinue for few days, even without resulting
in any increase of strength or vitality, he
would feel very hopeful OF. the ultimate re-
covery of the President.
