The President's Temperature Not Belyw Normal, “What was the thss serious gastric leading cause of disturbance? “Well, he always had a weak stom- ach, He had a long attack of dy: tery when he was in the army, and he has always been morc or subject to these disturbances ever since. The wound has, you know,, drawn upon his vital forces, and the mucous membranes were dry, lacking in sa- liva and gastric juice. Much ner- vous force and blood has been used in healing the wound, so that the force necded for the digestion of foad has been greatly weakened. Then there is another thing that lhas influenced the attack " “What is that?” 1 do not want to bo understood as criticising the treatment of the case wn any way. Indeed I do not think it could have been more wisely handled, but the fact is, the patient was over- fed. Thero was a laudablo desire on the part of the physicians to build up the strongth to mect the demands of suppuration and healing of the wound, consequently. the president was too zeMously plied with rich food, and it proved more than his stomach could bear. He was nauseated before Saturday with heavy foods, and on that day he was given a dose of brandy that capped the climax, and he threw up Ty - thing and a severe fit of vomiting fol-- lowed. Then there is no foundation for the statement, by Dr. Hammond, of New York, that the president has suffered from the lack of nutricious and nourishing food. Hammond has beenmalking an ass of himself.

The pulse has been the main index in this case.” “That has not ranged near the death point, has it?’ “Well, it has gone extremely high. It was fluctuating, wiry and weak, and several times jumped very high. Tt is altogether too high for *safety now.” “Did you administer more than two teaspoonsful of nourishment to- day?” *‘No, the stomach was too weak to take more, still we are very well sat isfied with what it did. We shall not administer any more for a day or two. Wo want the stomach to regain its | strength and tone.” “Will a mere rest do this when the stomach is so weak?" “‘Yes; resting the stomach will tone it up, and above all will remove the irritability. ~ This high pulse has been due, not so much to debility as to the irritation of the stomach.” ‘‘You are still administering ene- mata?” *‘Yes, we administer that about once every four hours during the day and several times at night. We are giving beef tea, the yolk of an erg and some stimulants abont two ounces or a tumblerful is administered each time.” *Is food given by this method as nourishing as by the stomach?” “Oh, yes; but tho intestines will not absorb as mucn as the stomach, Wo can keep a person up for time by this meaus, but 1t could not las, always, He would starve to death in time.

If he was recovered from this stomach trouble he would be better than ever before,” “How long will 1t take him to re- cover from this relapse!” “‘Oh about ten days.
