caused by the perfcraticn Of the h1l-
let are now considered healed BY Or.
Me6urney and his associates, and the
eminent surgeon pointed to the fact
that the beef juice, fed to the patient
last night. was readily diaested a.
proof of this.
Sufficient time has also elapsed 70

danger of Inflammation where the
bullet lodged has disappeared. II Is
believed that the ball has now be-
come encysted in the muscles OF the
back and unless it should prove trou-

now, therefore, mainly directed to the

ing OF the wound last night" the doc
tors say officially.
Another milestone passed on the
road to recovery was the Issuance by
the physicians today of figures show
ing the respiration variations in their
official bulletins.
The President now breathes deeply
and normally and the addition OF the
respiration recorded to the bulletin

in the afternoon, but the change was
not deemed material and his temper
ature remained practically stationary

the Presidents keen relish of the beef

the fact that the wound is becoming
more healthy"
DR.. McBurney explained this after
noon that the slight irritation still re-
naming should pass away within the
next twenty-four hours.
Patient in Excellent Spirits.
The President continues in excellent
spirits, but he confessed to one Of the
attendants today that he was getting
lonesome. He requested that he be
placed in another bed. A depression
had formed in the mattress on which

that no attempt will be made to re-

til he has completely recovered, and

there is no likelihood that this win be

all agreed that no attempt should be
