EXECUTIVE MANSION,
August 27, 1881.
12.30 P. M.
There has been no improvement in the President’s condition, since the last bulletin was issued. He continues to retain the liquid food administered by the mouth as well as the enemata. At the morning dressing the parotid swelling appeared about the same as yesterday. No material change was observed in the wound. Since morning the temperature has risen about a degree, and the pulse has fluctuated somewhat. At present the pulse is 120; temperature 99.6°; respiration 22.
