much indisposed by the aibumnerta; sometimes
during the day time and other times in the night he
suffers so much that he is obliged to leave his bu-
ness and his bed to retire into his private apartments
and to walk or lounge. The doctors who are attend
ing on him have recommended his Majesty to 60 to
the water-cure establishments Of vichy or Contrex-
ville-boh excellent places for the disease Of the
spine. But how could the Emperor leave Paris, and
CO. as any French citizen to take care of his health
Such thing Is impossible and he must die or live
with the imperial harness" on his shoulders. Ano-
ther impeachment, which is also worthy to be mention
ed the delicate health of the Empress, who still

her late mishap. DR.. Couveau, and his assistant,
not to forget Dr. Dubois the aecouehcar Of the court

head he is so obstinate that lac never follows any
other advice but his own.
