They united in the opinion that q rally and a
very marked one, would be necessary to
.connteract the very weak and debiiitatel
condition of the President. Dr.. Bliss said,
further, that debility had made such
progress Lat he could not seq how

a hope, but certainly did not think that the
PRESIDENT would recover The afternoon
hung along in this unfayorable manner until
about O'Clock, when it was noticed that
the President was very little better. Mrs.
