Gen. Grant gained much in the earlier part
Of last week On Wednesday DR.. Newman said:
''Gen. Grant is very much better. He conyersed
readily with those around him, and seems to be-
quite cheerful and happy. He is getting dress
ed in his trousers and vest and dressing gown
There is a great improvement in his condition.
The color of the skin is different He looks
like O healthy man. He is buoyed upby faith.
The prayers of the people OF the Skcle
country-of Protestants, of Catholics and OF He
brews-have been offered up for him, and they
are being answered. The general now believes
he will get well. He feels, and l feel, that the
supplications of SO many millions OF people for
such a contamination will be answered There
is a grand chance, 1 think, OF the general get
ting well again. have not seen the physi-
clans, and cannot say that they share my views.
His Improvement may be credited particularly
to the power of min over matter. To-day, az
Iparted from him, he pressed my hand ana
said: Thrice have ] been in the valley OF the
shadow Of death, and thrice have | come out
again"
COMPREHENSIVE STATEMENT.
That the public may be enabled to thor
oughiy understand the case as IL is and form
reliable opinions, the following absolute facts
are given as a basis for public and personal
Judgment:
The general is not greatly emaciated about
the body, he has lost some flesh, but how
much can not be told, as he has not been
weighed in some time. His face is not mucn
changed, but 1t has a careworn expression.
The ~glandular swelling has at no time been
larger than q hens egg, and from that DOWN 70
the size of pigeons egg. 1t is located o. tno
angle of the right jaw. 1t has never enureiy
disappeared since IL came, months ago. Inc

and finally to the progress Of disease IN tne
glands themselves. There is no pos
tive evidence at present that the,
glands have become actively diseased
though the presumption is that they
are diseased; the disease does notextend 70
nor affect any OF the processes Of the generals
ear. There is some danger Of that-a possi-
bility, but not a probability. AT present y Y
not going in that direction. The disease y
spreading very gradually backward in the BACK
part Of the throat and behind the palate. y
has communicated somewhat to the back part
Of the nose, in front Of and above the palate;
There is no lump on the tongue. 1t Is q small
ulcer, away back on the side of the tongue. Y
has never been shown to its whole extent, pul
IL is q small ulcer, irregular IN shape and lToIu
q quarter to a half-inch in diameter In case
of epitheliama there 10 no lump; II 70 an uiceI'
There is q discharge from the liberated SUI

pus. This exndes from an liberated SURFACE
that includes the palate, the back part OF me
throat and right side of the tongues There isa
chance for the general Improvements Of the
patient by the Temporary arrest Of the disease.
The atmosphere Of mountains or the Nest wouiu
in fair weather, be better than the salt air OF tne
seabord. In all concerous cases of the tnroas
there are complications of irritation about the
throat, which should be called accidents Of the
disease, and II is these complications that have
given trouble, rather than the steady progresso q
the disease. In this case the complications are
swelling Of the throat, increase of inflammation,
spasms, hemorrhage and increased OF mu-
Gus.
THE TREATMENT.
Six drops or minims of morphia are given
each twenty-four hours, just enough 70 control
the pain and induce sleep. Without morpnla,
the pain would at times be unbearable. Inc
general takes for food one TO two tuInbicffalss
Of a mixture OF beef extract and egg and MIX
every two to- four hOlrs, night and day ne
relished a little clam broth yesterday as mucn
as he relishes anything. The general usually
reclines in the chair alfred in knitted under
wear, on his feet knitted wool moccasins,
brown dressing gown trimmed with silk ana
belted with o heavy cord. Over his lap Is spread
a elk and satin quilt filled with down, WINE
upon his head he wears q silk cap, which no
hes long worn to protect his head from atsaoAs
OF neuralgia.
