ELBERON, N. J.,
September 9, 1881.
6 P. M.
At the examination of the President at 12 M. to-day, the temperature was 98.4°; pulse, 100; respiration, 17. At the evening dressing, at 5.30 P. M., the temperature was 98.8°; pulse, 100; respiration, 18.
It is believed, without referring to the records, that this is the first day since the development of the traumatic fever that the temperature, pulse, and respiration have been so nearly normal and uniform throughout the entire day.
