Show MAY LIVE TILL MORN The Doctors Bulletins Throughout the Day The Progress of the Disease Assuming a Fatal Aspect Before the Morn the Nations Hero May Hare Passed Away The First morning Bulletin NEW YORK April 2 640 a in General Gen-eral Grant is resting very quietly The physicians are arranging for a continuous attendance At 530 General Grant was sleeping At this hour the house is closed and everything quiet AN ALARMDfQ LOW PULSE 730 a m General Grant has passed a very quiet night He was continually going from his bed to his chair and back again He was annoyed at times by attacks at-tacks of coughing and accumulation of mucus in the throat but his strength has been maintained by nourishments and stimulants so that his pulse is reasonably reason-ably steady At 5 oclock a failure in the pulse was felt to such a degree that the family were apprised and all soon congregated in the sick room He spoke quietly with each member By the administation of proper stimulants the General soon rallied and is now sleeping in bed PROGRESS OF THE DISEASE An hour after midnight General Grant was sleeping At that time Col Fred Grant was in doubt whether his father would be alive at daybreak He had little hope that such would be the case but in that he was happily disappointed disap-pointed Dav dawned and General Grant was yet breathing The doubt of his son was based upon the fact that the disease had spread through his mouth and above the palate in his head The back of the throat was eaten into the gums on the right side of the teeth were partly consumed con-sumed the posterior and anterior arches on the right side were gone the palate on the right side was raw and though the General spoke feebly it was with difficulty diffi-culty and with scarcely any use of the tongue Anxiety was further augmented by a statement from Dr Shrady to the effect that unless there was a strong rally through the night the General could hardly survive until early daylignt From 1 oclock until daybreak the General rested with intervals of fitfulness Drs Douglas and Shrady were with him and the Rev Dr Newman was in the house during the night The gas was turned low in the sick room and in the library Physicians and members of tha family waited and chatted until about 3 oclock when Col Grant and one of the physicians were on watch Daylight had come and the hour was 5 oclock when it was deemed wise to administer a stimulant to the patient and Dr Shrady gave the General a hypodermic injection of brandy This was medicated slightly and administered hypodermically because be-cause of the patients inability to swallow The occasion for the stimulant was of the gravest character THE PATIENT SEEMED SINKING RAPIDLY The household was around him quickly Every member of the family was at his bedside and both physicians were in closest attendance At 530 the group in the sick room believed the patient was passing away and the doctors were of the opinion that the General would not live five minutes Stimulants administered hypodermically and as Dr Newman puts it THAT WONDERFUL TENACITY OF LIFE Strength and intellectsustained the General Gen-eral His mind was clear as daylight He had lived to see again and he was able at what was deemed a critical hour to speak more freely than in the early night Injections of stimulants were continued at short intervals and when he had revived re-vived a trifle and was a little stronger he glanced at the members of his family physicians Dr Newman and attendants all grouped still at the bedside and he uttered these words t t I BLESS YOU ALL At 6 a m Rev Dr Newman engaged the family in morning prayers and another an-other day of anxiety and of waiting was fairly ushered in From midnight no person left the house nor called until 605 oclock when Rev Dr 0 H Tiffany Tif-fany who was General Grants pastor in Vashington called He did not enter when told by the watchman thaf there had been no evidences of troublo throughout through-out the night At 745 oclock Dr Newman New-man who had gone for a walk was sent for in the greatest haste AtJ20 Senator Sena-tor Chaffee called and shortly afterwards NELLIE GRANT APPEARED At one of the windows and looked as if I she had been crying US Grajit Jr left the house at 830 When asked about his father he merely shook his I head General Badeau called at the house about 8 50 and Dr Newman returned re-turned to the house at 9 oclock Dr Shrady left the house at 925 He saw the General was then resting easily At 8 a roe the following bulletin was issued The General is slpepiqg and continued until 930 when he arose and tried to go downstairs He was gently induced to return to his room and chair where he is now sleeping When he took his place in the chair nourishment was brought to him which he took without objection In other respects his condition condi-tion is as good as at 130 Dr Douglas said that the General was conscious when he tried to go down stairs but the physician could express no opinion opin-ion as to how long the patient might live THE GENERAL FEELS COMFORTABLE The following bulletin was issued at 12 10 p m General Grant is sleeping quietly and naturally in his arm chair He rouses occasionally to cough and expectorate ex-pectorate which he does without apparent ap-parent pain or discomfort He says he feels comfortable his pulse is fuller stronger and more natural in volume He is perfectly conscious replies lucidly and tersely when addressed He is surrounded sur-rounded by his family and kept perfectly quiet At this instant he is taking a cup of coffee 12 40 p

journal the morning bulletins relating to General Grants health were read from the clerk s desk At this Jesse Grant says 2 45 pmJeSeGiafl i hour fathers condition is little better than it was last evening Dr Fordyce Barker at 3 oclock left the house where he had been in consultation He said When I went in General Grant was asleep He awoke and recognized me The Doctor said that the General during his visit COULD BREATHE THROUGH HIS NOSE He is of the opinion that the General will probably live through the night His greatest danger the doctor thinks is to be feared between 4 and 5 oclock
