DIR. DOUGLAS REGULAR NIGHT BULLETIN.
Late this evening the following bulletin
was issued: ''Gen. Grant has had a very
quiet day. Doctors Douglas, Baker and
Shrady met at 2 p. III. and found the general
in a better condition than the day before.
He does not speak of pain, but only of sore
ness in the throat. The irritation which an
noyed him on Saturday is quite alleyated.
His pulse is the same as yesterday
and his general condition encouraging for
the present. He has just prepared for rest,
and symptoms promise fair night"
DR.. Douglas remains at the house during
the night Col. Fred Grant retired early in
the evening. He had not slept in three
nights, and was nearly worn out.
TIE SYMPTOMS OF SUNDAY NIGHT.
The difficulty on Sunday night was the re-
suit of exudatons from the membranes of
the throat and nose, increased by nervous
apprehension that rendered the muscles of
the throat more rigid and less easy of man
agement. These exudations, which accom- any
cancerous diseases at certain stages were less
copious to-day and the consequence was a
quieter day. The cancerous lump at he
end Of the generals tongue is not yet active
and the trouble Of few days past was the
result, not so much Of the development of
the disease as the consequence Of the lower
vitality of the patient. Should Gen. Grants
demise soon occur II will be because of
failing strength and want of vitality
to withstand the disease it now is rather than
from the disease itself.
MIDNIGHT BULLETIN.
Seen. Grant has been sleeping nearly all
the time since 9 O'Clock. He has just taken
nourishment well and appears to be easy.
His pulse is the same aud breathing free
from Distress. j. II. DOUGLAS, N. D."
THE LATEST.
Col Fred Grant said shortly after midnight
that his father had fallen fast asleep, and
although all was quiet he should remain up
with his father all night At 2 a. IN. Gen.
Grants house was closed and dark, and all
appearances were that there is no ground for
apprehension Of fatal termination Of the
disease tonight.
