healthy health V granulation was plainly visible it is admitted that unless there was a decided improvement today the president would be past all al hopes of recovery pm no later news the city cly cis is astonishingly quiet guiet and inclined to hopelessly accept as a fact that the president cannot live there is hardly a person to ba be found who ventures a favorable opinion there ghere is a total absence of the excitement cit ement that followed the news of the shooting and even the bulletin boards attract very few people sorrow however ia is deep though not demonstrative dr wm A lk hammond in an interview bald baid said sald the idea the president was suffering simply from dyspepsia is all bosh he is suffering from ever since the recent chill the vomiting and irritation of the stomach is caused solely by the presence of the bullet in his body and there is now no hope for the president and I 1 give him but three or four days to live he has not been given the proper character of food and has been reduced 75 pounds in weight this treatment has gone so far that I 1 see no chance of recovery executive mansion august 16 12 m everything is quiet about the mansion no indications

presidents illness early morning showed signs of less hope for the presidents recovery and the cabinet officers department officials and others of more or less importance called at the white house to obtain particulars with no exceptions the off official lelal bulletins have been re refer ferrel ferreb rei to as answers to interrogations as to the patients condition there leing little beyond what they contained to say the whole number who called during the day has been small the evening has been considered the most critical period those who have been here show intense anxiety and consternation and have by their actions notions manifested that in their opinion the case ease has reached an extremely critical period this opinion has not been wen confined to a few persons but Is almost universal throughout 0 the city theat the attending burgeons surgeons avoided conversation as much as possible especially with members cf the pre pru press pruss and tle the greatest difficulty has haa been experienced in in supplying the demands of the public for the exact condition of affairs at intervals throughout the day an intimation was dropped luring during the afternoon when the cobl net was called together that it was thought some off lelal official act was about to be promulgated but this proved erroneous the object of the meeting which took place between four and five nive pm is simply to hear bear in a body a statement of the attending surgeons on the situation with a view to ascertain the exact state of affairs dr bliss was called upon to convey tile desired information he talked for some bome time and while he stated explicitly the gravity of the situation he was hopeful and maintained that the president had at least an even chance of recovery the explanation was sufficiently clear tore to re establish to a considerable extent the confidence of the cabinet off leens officers and they expressed themselves as feeling more hopeful after the conference after the cabinet officers had left and it became known what had bad taken place a decidedly better feeling prevailed throughout the mansion and although the presidents recovery was far from satisfactory they were accepted with much gratification and soon changed the decided sadness which had prevailed in the house all the afternoon 7 to a general feeling of hopefulness the more sanguine were forced to yield to the unfavorable indications during the early afternoon but previous to the issuance of tile the 7 bul letin the expressions of dr bliss have become well known and their effect was noticeable
