REPORT OF THE PHYSICIANS.

[From the Daily National Intelligencer, April 5, 1841.]

WASHINGTON, _April 4, 1841_.

Hon. D. WEBSTER,
_Secretary of State_.

Dear Sir: In compliance with the request made to us by yourself and the
other gentlemen of the Cabinet, the attending and consulting physicians
have drawn up the abstract of a report on the President's case, which I
herewith transmit to you.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

THO. MILDER,
_Attending Physician_.

On Saturday, March 27, 1841, President Harrison, after several days'
previous indisposition, was seized with a chill and other symptoms of
fever. The next day pneumonia, with congestion of the liver and
derangement of the stomach and bowels, was ascertained to exist. The age
and debility of the patient, with the immediate prostration, forbade a
resort to general blood letting. Topical depletion, blistering, and
appropriate internal remedies subdued in a great measure the disease of
the lungs and liver, but the stomach and intestines did not regain a
healthy condition. Finally, on the 3d of April, at 3 o'clock p. m.,
profuse diarrhea came on, under which he sank at thirty minutes to 1
o'clock on the morning of the 4th.

The last words uttered by the President, as heard by Dr. Worthington,
were these: "Sir, I wish you to understand the true principles of the
Government. I wish them carried out. I ask nothing more."
