[Special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press.) “The encouraging news trom the White House to-day,” said Dr. Hamilton, who had re- ceived last night a long statement of the President's condition from the attending phy- siclans, “gives much additional ground for hope that the President will recover. From the first the lapse of time has been an en- couragipg factor, but at this stage, the end of the fifth day, the chances of recovery, you may say, increase in geometrical ratio. While the danger ts not passed it 1s becoming lessened irore rapidly than thcre was reason to expect from the supposed nature of the tajury. There is yet an unknown quantity fa the case that makes speculation extremely dificult. Tae course ala position of the bail have not as yet been determined.” “Are there at present any symptoms or are they absent that lead to the hope that the liver Tay not have been injured as much as was at first supposed?” “If the liver was seriously injured, as has been supposed, the present symptom3 are much more favorable than could naturally be expected. Furthermore, I will say that I am hot without hope, notwithstanding much te3- ilmony to the contrary, that the ball, having Struck the edge of a rib, was deflected and took course which did not seriously injure any of the vital organs. Even sofar as the liver 13 concerned, it is astrong source of encourage- ment that its functions do not seem yet to be [ako impaired. So faras we have been Informed there is not, up to this moment, any yellowness of the skin, such as mus? 09: jater inevitably result from serious tp/ui that organ.” “How soon after an Injury of this nature to the liver has been inflicted does this yellowish- ness of the skin appear? “The time is, of course, cases which have come under my ow lon this symptom had usually appeared on the tird or fourth day. and tt may snow itself Coruer. “It Das been stated that there is a man who recovered from a gunsaot the liver, from which the ball w moved.

DR. SAYRE HOPBFUL, Dr. L. A. Sayre, referring to the favorable symptoms reported by the various bulletins, said that if they continued they would make the nation’s heart bound with joy. ‘There is still danger,” said the physician, “of secondary hemorrhage until after the fourteenth day.

Carnochan, of New York, sad last Right: “Of courge I can only form an opinioa from what information has reached me througa one chanel or another. After the fourth diy the grave symptoms of peritonitis, or of copt- ous internal hemorrhage, or of extravasation of any of the contents of the important secre- lve organs, or of the intestinal tube not hav- ing been signalized with any degree of severity, the first serious symptoms to be dreaded, see:n to bave been bridged over—all of whbica un- doubtedly tends toward forming a favorab.e prognosis.” “What are now the dangers to b3 antici- tea?” “Suppuration may occur, and in brokei down constitutions purulent abgorption, pro- ducing poisoning of the blood, or pywmia, might take place and prove destructive ol life. Or, if the Dullet has passed near a large vessel 80 as to produce a slough of the coats of that vessel, profuse secondary hemorrhage might take place to such an extent as to threaten life, or the formation of an abcess might serve 8 an unfavorable intercurrent compitcation.” “Do you thing these unfavorable symptoms may occur?” “In a physical organization and tempera- Ment so perfet as ig that of President Garficld such complications. while possible, are much lees probable than in a man possessing a puys- ical constitution of af indifferent or a cachec- cuaxncten.” Do you suppose that he may be crippled?” “So far, although faint symptoms 0¢ injury tosome of the nerves have been evident, yet m gaumetated, among nis ouner aympton, nl dnd consequently’ aralysis need not be di creates Bh tects ae aes hg uj Show themactes of Duralent aaa abgorpton cr of ‘usive inflammation peritoneum, there ia great Teason to believe that the recuperative i : The Weather.
