conflict with private advieesT state that the
wound in the Crown Princes throat heals, but
his condition is worse His prolonged insomnia,
neuralgia il his head, his cough, and constant
expectoration combine to weaken him. The
medical and general press teemswith discussions
as to the nature OF the maladys without reliev-
ing the pablo mind of the sense of imminent
danger. The Klinische Wochenscnrift in pub

statement issued under request as follows:
In the discussion which the Crown Princes
lapse, IN November last, called forth, it was
announced that the view then expressed, to the
effect that the discharges pointed to the exis-
tence of soft cancer, was based solely upon the
opinion pronounced by the doctors This incor-
rect Interpretation caused sensation among
the physicians at San Reno. The truth is. that,
besides particles of food and pus only epitbelium
elements were found in the discharge. None of
the physicians at that diagnosis pronounced the
disease to be cancer"

statement, combined with the Virchow report,
should dispel the prevailing anxiety, but it has
not done The National Zeitung, the Tage-
blatt and other papers concur in expressing dis
trust of the medical cptimists view of the case

has made rapid progress.

changed. The weather has been against him,
being excessively cold. with seet and snow yes

says: ''The Crown Princes cough is better, but
he is troubled with phlegm. He has no head

took exercise i'll his room. His voice was tested
and was found to be much stronger. He is not

Much excited talk prevailed in the lobbies Of
