The President has passed a quiet day, although the temperature has been somewhat higher and his pulse more frequent than during the previous twenty-four hours. At the evening dressing quite a large slough of connective tissue was removed from the region of the parotid. He continues to take a sufficient quantity of nourishment, and enjoys it. At the noon examination his temperature was 100°; pulse, 110; respiration, 20. At the evening dressing his temperature was 100.6°; pulse, 110; respiration, 20.
