SAN FRANCISCO. July 3L—Here
is a recoed of work performed and
difficulties undergone which were
down President Harding's physical
condition so that what. was believed
at first to be but a mild case of
ptomaine poisoning developed into
serious illness.

He covered by train. steamship and
automobile approximately 7.500 miles.
He delivered 60 speeches. of which
13 were set addresses and represented
careful and laborious preparation be-

All of the physicians who have been '

called in spent the night within easy
reach of the executive's bedside. and
Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer. his per-

sonal physician. and Lieut. Command- »

er Joel E. Boone. assistant to General
Sawyer were in the sickroom nearly
all the time.

Dr. J. T. Boone remairfed on duty
through .the night and the early
hours today. He appeared obviously
pleased that the president had been
able to obtain sleep and rest. at least
to 5 o'clock this morning. He had
had nearly five hours of sleep at that
time. and was continuing to rest easily.
it was said.

-

At 5:25 a. m. Lieut. Commander
Joel '1‘. Boon. the physician who had
been on duty with the President all
night. emerged from the sick room
and went to his own apartment for a.
brief rest. He made no comment on
the condition of the patient. but wore
a. noticeably more cheerful air than
for some hours past.

The President finally awakened afv

for six o'clock and said that he felt
able to look at the news of the day
and sent out for the morning papers.
all of which were devoted largely to
accounts of his illness.

Dr. Hubert “'ork. secretary of the
interior. who has participated in all
consultations. visited the president's
room from time to time.

Dr. Work. who from the first has
been most calm, appeared perturbed
for the first time when at 9 o'clock last
night he announced that a. bulletin
soon would be forthcoming.

None was more faithful at the presi-
dent's bedside than Mrs. Harding. who
since the executive was brought here
Sunday morning. has obtained little
sleep or rest.

General Sawyer said that Mrs.
Harding was standing the strain well.
adding that she was of the type "who
is best under fire."

Determined. he said .to give the

American people all the facts in the
case of the president. General Sawyer
Wight had a. long talk with news-
paper men. discussing the condition of
the executive in non-technical lan-
ugago and answering all questions.
. In his talk. General Sawyer said I.
fight was on between‘ the attacking
forces. as represented in complications
growing out of the original ptesnatsn
”bent“. and t o president's physi-
cal nuance. by 1|..er 40
days and approximatbeiy 7,500 miles
of traveling.
