EXECUTIVE MANSION,
August 15, 1881.
6.30 P. M.
The irritability of the President’s stomach returned during the afternoon, and he has vomited three times since one o’clock. Although the afternoon rise of temperature is less than it has been for several days, the pulse and respiration are more frequent, so that his condition is, on the whole, less satisfactory. His pulse is now 130; temperature, 99.6°; respiration, 22.
