Milburn House, Buffalo, n. Y. Sept
| 13.--For the first time there was
bad strain in the news from the pres
ident's bedside last night. Possibi,
the alarm it caused was exaggerated
but that genuine apprehension exisR.
there is no question. The food given
to the president yesterday morning
has not been properly assimilate,l anc
! passed and the administration OF food
By the mouth has been discontinued
The president continued to complain
of the fatigue, noted by the official
bulletin in the afternoon.
His pulse increased to 1928. This is
considered entirely too high for his
temperature.
One Of the consulting physicians
said that, judged by medical records.
his pulse should be ninety-siX. The
accelerate of the pulse was attrib-
uted partly to revulsion of the stom-
ach against the food, and DR.. Mann
| priva tely assured Secretaries Hitch-
cock and Wilson, the presidents
brother, Abner Mckinley, and Others
assembled below stairs in the Milburn
house last night that the undigested
food would probably pass away dur:
ing the night and the president would
! be better in the morning.
