MRS. HARRIsON's CONDITION.
Further Demands-Operation Al.
ford but Temporary RelieE-SlightIy
Improved.
LOON LAKE, Sept. 14.-Mrs. President
Harrison rested quietly during the day,
and had several short maps, which failed,
however, to refresh her to any noticeable
extent She seems to suffer principally
from exhaustion. Her physicians see to 1t
that che has as much relief as possible
known method to cheer her up. All the
patients friends now realize that any new
complication will be attended with the
greatest danger. Mrs. HsrrIson's vitality
Is at a very low ebb, and cannot success
fully resist further inroads. She has now
been confined to bed since last Wednesday
apd has gradually declined in strength.
This condition is due to the two operations
rendered necessary by the accumulation
of fluid in the chest cavity. The frat
operation took place on Friday
last, and the second on Monday of this
week. These operations afford only tenn
porsry relief. They are usually followed
by a sense of exhaustion and depression.
Mrs. Harrison has stood them both very
well, and that has been of the few favor
able features of the case during the past
week.
At 8 p. M. DIR. Gardner concluded an
examination of Mrs. Harrison. He ex-
pressed himself to the family as being
somewhat encouraged at her condition. In
response to inquiries of newspaper men,
he said:
"Well, think there is slight improve
ment in Mrs. Harrison's condition to night
from the fact that she is resting quietly.
that her respiration is not quite so labored
as it has been, and because fluid has not
gathered in her chest as rapidly as before"
He did not care to go further into the
details of the case. From other sources,
however, 1t is learned that while the pro-
duction of fluid in the cheat cavity during
the last twenty-four hours has not been so
extensive as during the preceding twenty
four hours, it Is sufficient in quantity to
indicate that another operation will be
necessary unless a decided improvement
should occur in the meantime. The ply
sicians realize fully the facilitating effects
of these drawings and never make them
when they can be avoided. I
DR.. Gardener said positively that no op-
Grafton had been performed to-day and
that none would be performed tonight,
but further than that he did not care to
say.
DR.. Doughty, the consulting physician,
left here this afternoon on a visit to DR..
Trudeau at Saranac. He will pass through
Loon Lake on his way to New York to-
morrow, but will not stop unless his pres
ence is deemed necessary. The president
received several kilograms tonight from
friends expressing sympathy for Mrs. Har-
rison and asking for information as to her
