ness of importance that may come

"Doctor, a number of conflicting stories
are told concerning the illness OF the the
President. Some OF them make the matter
very serious. You would confer great
fayor by making some sort Of an official
statement
"The President is all right" said the
doctor emphatically.
"From what is he suffering"
"He is suffering from rheumatism, just
az il was reported this afternoon. Those
reports were correct"
Then, doctor, the report that he Is SUI
fering from malignant or cancerous
growth in the mouth and that an opera
tion was necessary and had been performed
to relieveit is not correctp'
"He is suffering from his teeth; that is
