ward complications were becoming less
likely. Besides their official signed ut
terances the doctors gave individual ex-
pressions reinforcing the buoyant and
confident tone. They made known, too,
that the presidents mind was clear, his
mental faculties as vigorous as ever
and that he retained his cheerful, hap
py disposition.
DR.. Parks Statement.
DR.. Roswell Park, upon returning
from the Mllburn mansion answered
the many inquiries with a cheerful and
very positive assurance Of confidence.
"The situation is entirely satlsfucto-
ry." said he. land there are no symp.
toms to cause alarm"
He was asked il the earlier bulletin
referring to the presidents somewhat
restless night warranted any appre.
hension.
Not in the least" he replied. at
entirely natural that patient in the
presidents condition should have some
periods Of restlessness. But he Is re.
ceiying no anRsthetics. He is fully
conscious at all times when he is
awake, and his mind is clear"
When asked If the president cor
versed with those about him, the doc.
tor said the patient was quite able to
talk and did so as far as the physicians
permitted, although they were reluc
tant to permit him to sap any, Of his
energy in this way. Continuing, DR..
Park said:
IF in such case Ceases analogou
to that Of the PRESIDENT the patient II

third day, all the attendants are JUST
fed In regarding 1t as having passed q
most critical period. If now the pub
lie chooses to apply that statement to
the particular case Of the president, II
would probably make no mistake.
Sunday the president slept like
child and Is now as cheerful as could
be desired and as communicative as
the attendants permit him to be. We
cannot allow him to talk yet or permit
him to tire himself in any way"
DR.. Parks manner throughout tht
interview indebted that his impression
Of the prospects of the presidents case,
bnsed upon the conditions as they now
exist, was hopeful in character
All of the physicians agree that one
of the most encouraging features of the
case is that, in addition to the water in
lection. there has been little bit OF
milk and egg nourshment given the
patient and that there has been no i'll
effects from It.
Secretary Wilson. who came from the
Milburn house with DR.. Park, was
overjoyed with the words which the
physicians had brought from the sick.

"The president will get WE'LL" he
said several times. II feel it, and |

course. the danger point has not been
passed, but the continued absence of
unfavOrable symptoms strengthens our
hope. The period for peritonitis to ap-
pear is rapidly passing away. and
there Is not sign of Inflammation.
The promptncss with which the opera
tlon wins performed and the skill with
which it was accomplished are telling
their story. The torn tissues were su.

are III his favor; but, above all his in
will and his fine courage
are the factors counted upon to pull
him through. He has made up his
mind to live. and live he will. The rise
IN his temperature during the night
was somewhat disturbing, but his fe-
brile condition is better, and our hopes
continue In the ascendant. The fact
that his slumber was restless Is not to
be wondered at.
"Al the conditions under which he ID

DR.. Hermann Mynter came from the

newspaper correspondents:
