he retention of nourishment de-
lived from the enemats and the ex-
,ellent tone of the President's mind
ire mentioned this morning as I'M
indications that the
,risis is past and the road to recov-
Try again regained. The fact that
he President is able to procure re-
reshiDg sleep without the use Of
anodynes is pointed to as one of the
most favorable features OF his case.
The irritation of the stomach has
entirely ceased, and it Is thought
hat the patients thirst will be en-
,irely satisfied by supplying him

~ enemata. The wound is consid-
,red to be progressing in healthy
way.
