IMVORTANT STATEMENT OF THE MORNING BULLETIN, Gpeetat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Lona Buancit, Sept. 15,—The President. Inns passed a comfortable day. The Interest In his case centres in the morning bulletIn— in the very finportant statement whieh It inakes and in the manner in whieh that state- mentis mute. For many weeks the repre- sentatives of the leading papers of the coun- try stationed in Washington have insisted that the President was suffering from blood- polsoning—whether the particular form of that poison ig to be called septicaemia or pyemin, For 2s muny weeks the doctors “In the ease have as posl- tively dented the statements of the newspapers—denied them positively with emphasis, often with anger—and It was. not until this morning, wfter an hour anda half of animated conference, that the doctors, ON A MAJONITY OF THEM, decided that the tine had come for saying thnt the President was suffering from blood- polson, This they do in-an indistinct aud guarded: glicase, In which they -say: " ‘Tho vartous, septle aceldents which have for soveral weeks and do stilt. complicate his case.” The first appearance of bloud-pofson, several weeks ago, was at © tho time recorded In these dispatches, nol as a “septle accident,” but os nnaturnl result of the condition of the Presi- deut’s blood, aud these statements were mde upon as high authority as that of the dovtors who sign this morning’s extraor- alinary and beluted bulletin, and in more than one Instance on the wuthority of these very gentlemen themselves. Some of them privately udiitted the septic condition of the blood at the time it first mantfested Itself, saveral weeks ugo, but on account of what is called “yeDICAL ETHICS," or for othor reasons which do uot have any relation to eandor between man and man or between the surxcons of a wounded Prest- dent and fifty mlHions of people, they chosa to appear to give an oficial denial to such reports, ‘The newspapers were richt then, ‘[he doctors are right now; yet, within three days, the surgeon In charge has sald, for publleation, that the President had no bloud-polsoning—that it was-an entirely healthy sore. THY PHYSICIAN IN CHANGE THIA MORNING, ovor his own signature, sald, {n effect, that tho President had been suffering from blood- poisoning for’ weeks, ‘This result was not reached until after a protracted and ant- mated conference, a statement of which will never be ande in au offielal bulletin, There has been a sharp difference of opinion between thy doctors as to the wisdom and propriety or the nevessity of telling the whole truth in the bulletins, While It may not by xald TUE OFFICIAL BULLETINS HAVE TEEN UN* TRUTHYUS, {t isu fact that they havo told half truths, and have conceated some of the most impor- tant symptoms. ‘Tho oficial announcement of today that, weeks ago, blood-polsoning manifested Itself, 1g an Mlustration of this, ‘The fact that up to this the no official state iment has been made as toa complication of tho hungsis ANOTIHEI ILLUSTRATION, ‘Tho truth Is, the doctors have not been candid with the public, The question was brought to an fasue this morning In the prolonged consultation, Dr. Boynton for some weoks has insisted that the Presitent las been suf forlng feom ehrronte pyemia.

These are incidents, anu a3 such worthy of note; but they are only {neidents, and do not affect the real nature and progress of the case, . DM. BLISS STILT. MAINTAINS that there is ne 4 on the lungs. He says: “Three weeks ago, when the swelling of the parotid gland was at its svorst, It was noticed that the President began to discharge pus from the throat, ‘There was immediate alarut among the nurses, who were sure that an abscess In tho lungs had formed, Several careful examinations were made, which con- vinced us that’ the pus expectorated came from the throat and upper branches of the lungs. ‘The mucous membranes from the back of the mouth down to the lung seemed to be Inan irritable condition, throwlng off smmuil quantities of pus, enough to make hint cough distressingly.

It is possible, he ihinks, that he muy overcome the difficulties arising frou this condition if new complications do not arise too rapidly, ug he has conquered the parotid swelling, and secins now to have overcome the tung dificuity. ‘ The great troubly in the ease is the average high pulse, whiehhas continued ever since the disap- pearance of the parotid, swalling. ‘That average high pulse 13 a serlous symptom.

Wasuixatoy, D, ©. Sept. 15.—Dillgent inquiry today falled to elicit any explanation of tho phrase “septic,” which was used inthe inorning bulletin, beyond tho fact that it ine dleated an impurity of the blood, or, in other words, blood poisoning. DR. NOYNTON says ho understands the word “septie,” fn tho bultetix, to mean pywemla, and that there may be two or more small abscesses on the right lung. ‘Lhe complication Is not growing worse, and, in all probability, iy re- palring. ‘There 1s a danger, however, of the loft lung being attacked.
