TIE SURGEONS. CINCEMSCHIRED PERITONITIS, Special Disyutch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasuixatos, D, CG, ditly 12.—"'The Presi- dent is hetter to-night,” satd Dr. Boynton, his coustt, and one of the advising physl- cians, “than he was Inst nlght—very con- siderably better,—but-he js a very sick man, nnd the case Is a very eritieal one. Yester- tlay we thought that the antioy tig nolses out- skle, inconnection with the cooling appurat- us, the eifeet of the introduction of cold alr Into the room, the reaction which {i may: have caused, and his extreme fatigue, might Recount for the incruased temperature and fever.” “But these: nolses have not existed to-day, Doctor ¥” It was suggested, as “Thatis so,’ replied the Doctor, “and the truth fs that, in my Judginent, although nothing has been publicly sald about tt, the President has had CIRCUMSCRIBED PERITONTTS since the secon day. ‘Lhe indleations of it are verynarked, ‘There ly great soreness ab the puinton the left site In front, about the ahteriur wall of the ubdomen, where we suppose the Lull fylodged, ‘The. fact that this soreness and inflammation fy there is one of the maln réasons why we locate the bat! there. ‘This soreness extends dewaward toward the right -xleon and ding onally across} the outer wall, down wards towards the left groin, ‘There is no doubt that there ty u case of elreun- serived peritonitis, ‘That was tho cause of dhe jucrense of temperature yesterday. ‘The perltoneat flammiation, in my opluion, is Minited and well cireumseribed.

It also makes it more probable thit, If the Vresident shall: ‘survive, tt. will bo possibia to extract the ball from = the : dront wall of the avdamen without entering the ventral cavity, with probably no danger. x SANK THE REVOUTS THU,” was asked of Dr. Boynton, “that the Presi- dent fs despondeut 2? g “Lwilltell you, The Presitent sent for athe this morning to tuk about some personal Sauily matters, Ho always asks me how 1 think ho fs every day.

It. still represents, however, considerable nfter- noon fever, und tt would not be safe as yet to declare the President out of danger, but the general symptoms are encouraging, ant with every day we feel increased hope.” SUNGEON-GENHUAL BARNES said: “The President's maximum tempera * ture has been less to-tay than yesterday, and his condition must improve. [Te takes nour- ighment in constantly-Incrensing quantities, and the stomach performs Its functions well, He Is not only better to-night than list night, but his goudition as a whole Is better thin at any time since the shooling.’” Dit, HEYNURN ATO PY. st said: “The Prestdent’s symptoms last oven- ing gave us soine little uncasiness, partly on necount of the rise in temperature, ant part- ly on account of other unfavorable Indica- tions, such as restiesness and a dry, hot skin. We belleve, however, that -theso symptoms represented only the tempornry fluctuations of the fever, and our judgment has been confirmed by the result, The Presi- dent’s pulse and temperature fell gradually during the night, and have been as low to-day ag on the three days last preceding. His gen- eral condition, In the meantime, 1s greatly improved, He fs quiet ant comfortable, and sayahhnself ho fells better and stronger. ‘His skin is moist, he has taken more nour- Ishment’ than any previous day, and his symptoms are all encouraging.* Upon being asked whether there were any Indications of PY.EMIA, Dr. Reybarn said: ‘Not the slightest. Py- ena would at once make itself manifest in the color of the skin and inany other ways, but no sign of It hns uppeared.” ‘To the question: "Do you regard the danger of sec- ondary hemorrhage passed?” The Doctor replied: “No. I should not be willing to say that, It may occur, but Lregard Its eccurrence as very unlikely.” Belng questioned in ree gard to the discharge from. the wound, Dr. Reyburn said suppuration was progressing favorably, ‘The discharge” to-night was rather more copious than. yesterday,’ but the wound hag a perfectly healthy appearance. Jn coneluston, Dr, Reyburn sald the Presi- dent's condition was in every way favorable and encouraging, all mumors to the contrary notwithstanding. DR BLISS TINS EVENING mide the Statement that the President's aft- ernoon fever began Inter to-day than previ- ously, and had been characterized by less In- tensity, Upto 4 p.m. his pulse did not go above 100, and it has begun to fall aguin since the date of the Inst oficial. -bulletin, “ The President's condition,” Dr. Bliss sald, in conclusion, ‘Is in every way satisfactory.” Dh. MWAMILTON. _ New Yonk, July 12,—Dr. Frank H. Hamil- ton sald thls morning, regarding the condl- tion of tho President: “fhe pulse and tem- perature of all healthy persons are higher in the afternoon than: in the morning, It does not matter whether the body Is In # state of repose or action.. The Increase of both pulse and temperature regularly tukes place in the afternoon, It has been customary for the President to be active during the daytime, and when In an entirely healthy condition Hs pulse would Increase; therefore the in- erenso reported. in the bulletins daily need not be regarded as Indicnting any very un- favorable symptoms, unless both should be very excessive.” . ‘ 7 te 3 “Whatdo youthink of the President's condition genorally 2” : “ Lresard it ns very favorable, considering tha nature of the injury, and each day. will add to hisvtrength so far as can be Judged from all. reports received, . It will take tla forthe Presldent to recover from a burt of this character, but so far everything seems. to be going on very satisfactorily,” DR MWAMILTON, AGAIN-VERY HOPEFUL. From the Lbnes: Dr. Hamilton was inter- viewed bya Tones reporter to-night upon tho condition of President Garfield, Le sald that, usr consulting physician, he could benr positive testhnony to the honesty of Dr. Biss and his colleagues In preparing the bulletin, ‘The reports given are complete and perfectly reliable.» " : “In the official bulletin, Doctor, there {5 reported overy afternnon,s rise in pulse aud temperature, Is tit s bad symptom?” “Thero ls no reason foratarm. It is, In fact, but natural, Since the second day after the President reeelved the wound these dl- urnal increases baye been marked. ‘Choy wero tobeexpected. With any man ordinarily the pulse will beat faster In the evening than the morning, while If one remains in bed through out the day the change will be especially noticeable, Nubody has the slightest notion to Interpret suet changes as boding lll to the President.” : F “From what you know of the wound, would you have considered death probable?” “Not after a sufllclent time had elapsed to prove that the wound was not fatal.” “TIns # sufictct time elapsed in this caso?” “TI am willing to say this: the chances are vow ull tu favor of the President.” * And thore 1s no probability of death 2” “Tho people have no cattse for alarm.
