A telegram from Dr. Pepper, dated August 4,
reported decided improvement in General Sher-
dams condition. The sudden news of his death
was entirely unexpected, the report stated that
a return Of better health might be counted upon
General Sheridans illness began about the
middle Of May. All reports of the
seriousness of his illness. however
were strongly contradicted by his physician. 1t
was stated that his indsposition was due to
trip from the West which had broken his rest
and greatly fatigued him. II was known that
he suffered from heart trouble, but no grave
alarm was felt on its account. On May "a II
was reported that he rapidly regolning MS

A slight Improvement followed however and the
General for the first time in some days was apie

Improvement for two days encouraged his phys-
clans once moro, and on May 30 the bulletin said
that his condition was satisfactory and that all
symptoms were encouraging.
A severe relapse on May 81 again prostrated
General Sheridan. Drs. Pepper and Lincoln were
called in consultation and oil hoIeS OF his recov-
cry were abandoned. For two days he showed no
signs of Improvement but suddenly, on eune 8,
the action of the heart became stronger and
the lung circulation improved. This encouraging
rally was followed on the next day by sue
cession Of severe hemorrbages that so weakened
him that his breathing was scarcely perceptl-
ble Galvanic stimulation was applied to
fan the Pickering flame OF life, and for four days
he lived only by the artificial action OF his heart
and lungs induced by this treatment A slight

the General improved steadily, and soon it was an
