tiuctly understood that except at the time OF
his calamity L have had no professional

careful examination and a full conversation
with him, without any regard TO differing
diagnosis or any other circumstances thsn

PLY SICIANS.
IRE following was sent by Drs. Pope and
Nerd1 TO Mr.. Hale 1T 1920 p. M
"Our most sanguine anticipatioGs are
realized. Mr.. Blaine's condition mas in
proved so rapidly today that We feel no hes
itat.on In stating that his complete recovery
is at hand. We eDj in the quiet and rest
usually recommended In such cases, but
have 10 apprehension whatever of a relapse.
The reaction is healthy and complete. Our
view Is amply confirmed by the dispatch
which he wrote this evening with his own
hand"
TELEGRAM FROM MINISTER WASH
BURNE.
Among the numerous kilograms of inquiry
and sympathy at Mr.. Biatnes residence yes
terday was one by cable from Munster
Washburne a Paris reading: dYOur illness
grieves me. Are you better?"
About o'clock yesterday afternoon the
ropes which had been blockating vehicles
from passing near the house were removed
by order OF Mr.. Blaine's physicians, who
considered this precaution no longer neces-
sary, IN view OF his greatly improved condi-
ton. Many friends called last night to Offer
congratulations to the fami y upol the as
sured cow alescence OF Mr.. Blaine, and he
was allowed TO converse with several of
but was apparently free from excitement
Among the many callers We're Secretaries
Chandler and ROheSOn, Senators Morrill, OF
Maize, Morrill, OF Vermont, and Allison, and
Repre- sentatives Garfield and Kass02.
HIS Recovery Assured.
Mr.. Blaine had good night: and feels
very much refreshed this morning. He says
he feels better, and relishes his food more
than before he was taken sick. 1t requires
The authority of his physicians to prevent
m from 81 once resumiDg his usual oCcu-
pasiOns. At noon he was sitting up discus
siDg affairs at Cincinnati with his private
secretary. Ills recovery is undoubtedly as
Sured, and Is 20 adFnitted by several pnysi-
clans opposed to the homeopathic treat
msnt, which Mr.. Blaine has been receiving.
Dr. Bliss says Mr.. Blaine has thoroughly re-
covered, and but for prudential reasons he
might be out attending to his regular busi-
ness.
