For a -thme he refused to take any, but after the blood enemeta had been given hin he was quite regdy to take ‘the nourishment that was offered. ‘The night, after miduight, passed without: tneident, aud in the morning the physicians thought that’ the President Was a little bettor, Io seemed to have some appetite and no Indication of any chill. or any disturbance was noted, THE INSIDIOUS NATURE OF THESE ATTACKS was agaln made manifest soon after8o'ctock. ‘The President ad been very quiet, aud scom- ingly comparatively comfortable. Suddenly he complained ‘of chilliness, and, although his body was wrapped in warm flannels, and within: half an hour he had been bathed in het alcohol, it was found that his feet -and = jionds were cold, and, in & moment, there was marked rigor. Me shivered and every muscle in his body was rigid, ‘Cho pulse went up to 140, and avdn ‘diigher, but It was so thready and feeble that it was imposslble to count the beats, Atter it had passed that figure there was great danger that he would sink Into a coimitoso state after the rigor had passed, and EVERY EXERTION WAS-MADB : to induce reaction, "Hot flannels were ap- plied to'the feet, and poultices of raw onlons cut fine and steeped In aleohol wore placed upon his stomach, In addition cooling totions were applied to the head, and the arms and Himbs were rubbed vigorously, The result was that a reaction was estab- | Nshed much sooner than the physicluns expected, After fifteen minutes had elapsed Dr, Biss noticed increasing warmth in the feet, and at the same time the rigidity of the uuscles was observed to be relaxing, It was evident that the rigor was passing away in about half the tine which the first one had Insted, ‘That one, in spite of the most vigor- ous treatment, liad only ylelded undor halt an hour, THE VITALITY OF THE PRESIDENT once more nstoulshed the - physicluns—so much so that Dr. Agnew sald, when he eame from the sick-chamnber, as he hag sald before: “The vitality of the President Is something more remarkable than I have over met with dn all my practice.” ‘This was sald to Mrs, Garfield aud Prylyate-Secretary Brown, and the great surgeon also added ' that if it was -not for his wonderful ovidance of constitutional strength, he should foel as though it was folly to Indulge in any hope.?” Alter the rigor had pagsed the resident fell asleep, and, although fis pulse was still beating nboye 120, yet his temperature had not decreased more than a tenth of 9 degree or so below the normal point, UE AWOKE in about twonty minutes, and the first words he suid showed that the mind was more act- Ive than his bodily strength.
