4 Sunlight ExAfiiihation Of General Grants
Throat Shows That the disease Has Not
Changed Much-A Visitors RudenesSs
MI. McGREeoR, July 16.-Drs. Douglass
and Shrady ifiade sunlight examination of
General Grants throat yesterday afternoon.
They found that while accidental swelling
had subsided not only on the neck, but irf
the throat and tongue, the permanent can
eefUus ir1filtration had not changed notably
sinc8 the last examination. The outlines OF
the cancer humps wefe qttite clearly defined
by reason of an accidental subsidenee, and
it was seen that they were about as hard
and as deeply fixed as before.
Less pain and less inconvenience attended
this examination thsn the former one, be-
cause also of the ebb that the accidental
swelling had reached. The ulcer at the base
of the tongue was distinctly felt with the
finger. The area and depth were as for
merly, as was its hard elevated edges. In
respect to pain and swelling the local con-
ditioi showed improvement, which was
tfaceatle to the enforced quiet of the past
few days The doctors thought that If this
WIS kept up his general condition might
show Improvement.
After resting from the examination, the
General came out on the porch. He was
hardly seated before the t,sip arrived and
an elderly man walked up beside him and
took his hand. The visitor pulled ur-a
chair and sat down. The General wrote on
his pad: 81 am positively forbidden by the
doctors from holding any conversation .
The man replied that he did not want te
talk but only to look at the General. Har
rison begged the intruder to leave the porch
but he did not do so, and the General thel
rose and entered the house.
He seemed considerably annoyed by tn
| incident and as it deferred him from gOinl
