more, and We're in consultation this
morning. They report Mrs. Mckinles.s
condition as favorable as could be ex-
pected. There Is no immediate appre-
hcnSion, and slow Improvement is
locked for"
The statement that there is no Inn
mediate apprehension. coupled with
prospect for slow Improvement, caused
some relief to the many anxious i'm
quirers who called at the white house
for news from the sick room. The
president Wa: distinctly more cheerful
after the physicians had announced the
result of their consultation, and at
1880 went out for a stroll through the

People all over tho United States
have wondered at Mrs. McKinleys
swift recovery. 1t was due to the
quick injections of salts into her veins
Nearly a quart of hot salt water
prepared by stirring one heaping tea
Spoonful of common, ordinary salt In
to exactly quart of hot WATERWAYS
allowed to flow directly into vein In
the arm of the presidents Wife. This
hot salt water stimulated, warmed and
rendered fluid the almost CONCEALED
blood in the veins of Mrs. Mckinley,
energized the blood corpuscles-l I'd and
white-and, by Its action upon the
heart muscles. excited th.t organ to
return actively to Its full duty.
1t is no exaggeration whatever to say

Teen delayed thirty minutes longer 1t
is almost certain that at the expira-
ton Of that time Mrs. Mckinley must
have breathed her last. Virtually tho
supply OF hot salt water which Mrs.
Mckinley received In her veins brought
her out of the very jaws of death.
Very little. If any. pain attended this
operation, although it ncccssitated !.
slight cut upon Mrs Mc1Sinley's arm,
and the raising up of one of the veins.
There are numberlcss local, or surface.
anaesthetics which can be used , n
case like this. 1t is understood that
when the bone felon from which Mrs.
Mckinley suffered was lanced Helene
was used to denden tho pain. This
drug, when sprayed upon the skin.
evaporates so quickly as to cause great
cold. thereby freezing the tissues and
allowing them to be freely operated
upon without any sensation of pain
being experienced by the patient. An
other local anacsthctic--the one most
probably used In the subsequent oper-
ations-is beta eucainc. This has to
be injected under the skin by means Of
. hypodermic syringe, but IT causes y
to which 1t is applied. il would be
always the choice in Mrs. Mckinley s
