EXECUTIVE MANSION,
August 15, 1881.
12.30 P. M.
Since the last bulletin the President has not again vomited, and has been able to retain the nourishment administered. At the morning dressing the discharge of pus was free and of good character. Since then his pulse has been more frequent, but the temperature has fallen to a little below what it was at this time yesterday. At present his pulse is 118, temperature, 99°; respiration, 19.
