Referring to local conditions DR.. Douglass said;
Ellis mouth and throat are unusually clear be-
cause of the quiet and the close attention during
the two days past but when this is said it must
be remembered tiat ms tongue IS so swollen as
animation impossible. The loss of voice is due
partly to inflammation Of the vocal chords, and
The glandular swelling is decreased, when the
hand is pressed over the neck the cancerous
knottings of the glands are found to be unabated,
but becoming harder constantly The weakness
of the patient now Is evident in the lack of ability
and desire to walk as he did ten days ago. There
is disposition on the Generals part to econ
omize his strength, and there is lessened inter
est in his literary work.
The Doctor reported this morning that the
General had a fairly good night and gained con
siderable sleep. He remained in his room this
forenoon, the air being raw and chilly, and max
ing necessary fires in the cottages and at the
hotel.

afternoon Dr. Douglass told him of the eompara-
