the president had passed the danger
point, ana now only the possibility OF
complications fpmancd. lie also an
nounccd that unless the bullet imbed-
ded in the muscles OF the back caused

not even be located with the ray.
Nothing could be gained by the use of

clans are equally confident that recov-
cry Is assured.

Cured Mr. Milburn placed every ia
cility of his house ut the service Of the
president, and the regular occupants
of the house restricted their quarters
to accommodate the sudden demands
made upon it. But the growing re-
quirem0nts of the case-not in its Sc

DIR. Parks Opinion.
DR.. Roswell Park, the dean of the
Buffalo surgical fraternity. evidently is
convinced THAI the president will re-
cover, but he does not yet say SO in
positive terms. "rhe condition of the

This Is an altogether natural incident
of the case ut this stage"
DO you regard the president as en-

exactly as any other citizen would be
and is getting the benefit of it. We
view the case just as that of any othei
man who might be similarly afflicted
DR.. Parks latter statement will eX
plain the fact that the official bulletins
are based on rigid scientific principles
as they are applicable alike to all cases
Of surgery.
