ly Affected They Do not Anticipate
the Patients Recovery Will Be In
terrupted
WASHINGTON Sept 20 Secretary
Cortelyou at 330 oclock yesterday
Issued the following statement
Dr Newton Shaffer of New York
joined the presidents physicians in
consultation this morning at 10
oclock The increase In local symp
toms and a rise in temperature ren
dered it necessary to make an Incision
into the small cavity exposing the
bone which was found to be slightly
affected Thorough drainage is now
established and the physicians feel con
fident that recovery will be uninter
rupted The operation was performed
by Surgeon General Rixey assisted by
Dr Lung and in consultation with
Surgeon OReilly and Doctors Shaffer
Urie and Stitt
GEORGE B CORTELYOU
Secretary to the President
In the former operation a simple
needle was used to relieve the trou
ble but yesterday the surgeons with
a knife made an incision into the
small cavity exposing the bone which
was found to be slightly affected The
presidents case has teen progressing
satisfactorily but it is believed by the
physicians that the further operation
made yesterday will hasten his com
plete recovery
While none of the doctors are will
ing to be quoted they give the most
positive assurances that there is not
the least cause for alarm and say that
on the contrary there is every indi
cation of a speedy recovery that the
area of bone affected is very slight
and will not result in any impairment
of the presidents limb and that there
is no evidence whatever of any mat
ter that would produce blood poison
ing They confidently expect that the
president will be on his feet within a
reasonable time and with his robust
constitution to assist recovery soon
will be himself again
Dr Newton M Shaffer of New York
who long has been acquainted with
the Roosevelt family and has attend
ed the presidents children at various
times and who also is a well known
bone specialist joined the presidents
physicians in their morning consulta
tion at 10 oclock It was noticed that
there had been a slight rise in the pres
idents temperature and an increase in
local symptoms and the conclusion
was reached that the patients recov
ery would be hastened by making an
incision of the wound for the purpose
of relieving the slight tension or
swelling present and to drain the
wound
The operation was performed be
tween 2 and 3 oclock in the afternoon
An application of cocaine was used to
allay the pain
The president stood the operation
very well and subsequently expressed
his satisfaction at the successful re
sult Dr Rixey the surgeon general
of the navy performed the operation
assisted by Dr Lung the presidents
regular physician At 10 oclock last
night it was stated that the president
was doing very well
