Ihough noon bulletin was promised in the
morning bulletin DR.. Bliss was on his way to the
Motel at that hour, but noticing the time started
| back from lunch and is now at 1:3O O'Clock max
ing an examination. Everybody is as gloomy
as can be around the Eiberon. Although the
midday bulletin would under ordinary circum-
stances be encouraging everybody seems hope
less. The doctors say 'he has rallied but then
| they accompany the statement with looks that
mean volumes of dependency and despair.
When DR.. Bliss reached the President he was
sleeping.
THE PRESIDENT REALIZES THE GRAVITY OF THE
CASE.
The doctors say that he realizes the gravity of
the case, but does not lose his courage He
expresses determination to take advantage of
every chance, and knowing what he ought to
do, obeys every suggestion the doctors make
and eats all they will let him. His mind is clear
at this writing.
GCITEAU AND THE NEW JERSEY LAW.
| 1t was ascertained from the sheriff of Mon
mouth county that if the President dies here
Guiteau will have to be brought here at once
| Tor trial before coroners jury. The coroner can
view the body and let it go, but Guteau must
be produced at once. New Jersey law is very
| strict on that point, and the Jerseymen
evidently want Guiteau. The one O'Clock
dressing shows no material change. Pulse l0S,
temperature 9S2, respiration 20.

A Diagnosis Of the Case
AS DICTATED BY DR. BLIss-A COMPLETE SKETCH
OF THE CASE FROM A MEDICAL STANDPOINT.
ELBERON, NJ, Sept. 19-Dr. Bliss this MORN
ing dictated the following as the diagnosis of
the Presidents case: latter he was wounded
the limited area Oftraumatic trouble i'm the lower
portion Of the lobe of the right lung was found
due to hypgstatic congestion. This was caused
by proximity to the infamed diaphragm per-
| forated by the bullet. the Inflammation being
aggravated by nearness to the fractured rib.
This congestion increased in intensity, though
not in area, owing to the long continued recum-
! bent position of the patient. There was no
| difficulty in breathing and no cough at that
| time nor until the parOtid troubles. When the
latter became aggravated the pus from the
gland found it's way into the mouth and
the coughing efforts to throw it off being diff
| cult and continuous, induced an Inflammation
! Of the mucus membrane of the mouth. The pus
| continuing to cause this cough, the infiamma-
ton extended to the throat, then to the larynx,
| and thence to the bronchial tubes downward.
| This Inflammation naturally extended to the
right, because the patient nearly all the time
lay on that side, and when it reached the neigh
borhood Of the afflicted lung it became natu-
rally aggravated. During all this time the
septic condition of the blood was doing its
work. and when the lung and bronchial
affections at last met they found deranged
and enfeebled system at q very low grace.
Still the blood LESSONS were all repairing at this
time. The conjunction OF the TWO innamma-
tions came at the best opportunity for the dis
semination Of the combined activities OF each,
and there was a spreading of the united troubles.
The healing of the LESSONS was stopped at about
this time, and the repairing process was arrested
We do not know yet If the result has been de-
post Of pus in the lungs. If any pus is now In
the right lung, it is not indicated, and the de-
post must have occurred within the past three
or four days. The amount would be extremely
small. II there was not innutrition the patient
would be able to resist the operation Of all these
causes even yet. But there IL innutrition.
The healing process Is stopped. The blood cam
not furnish the constituents of repair, and there
IL nothina to build on nor even to snDoort what
