reports that the Cars condition has
changed for the worse, the correspond
ent of the Associated Press in this city
has had another interview with Prof.
LeYdeH, the distinguished specialist,
who was recently in attendance upon
the Emperor OF Russia At Spala. Ths
Professor in substance said: THE
Gear has a powerful constitution and
still weighs 200 pounds, though he has
lost much flesh since January and he
should be able to make good fight
against disease"
Prof. Leyden, when asked II be
thought the Car would recover, re-
piled:
with favorable climatic influence,
as at Corfu or the Island Of Madeira; II
the weather at Corfu is not found to be
favorable, and without unforeseen COM
plications, he may recover.
The illness OF the Car is peculiar.
His principal trouble is granulated
contraction OF the kidneys, In which the
kidneys become hard and change It's
sue, besides being subjected TO atrophy.
This is accompanied by hypertrophy Of
the heart, resulting from enlargement
OF its muscular tissue. This latter leads
to breathing difficulty and is often very
painful, the spssms being complicated
by fits Of unconscioCsness
"a IA ntalF
IS no dropsy, however, Diabetes, In
the preliminary state, has declared
itself, but IL is merely symptomatic and
an accom- paniment of the main trouble.
When further advanced this malady
frequently results in partial or entire
paralysis. Thus far, however, there
does not appear to be any immediate
danger OF this with the Car"
Prof. Leyden was then questioned In
regard 10 the manner In which the
Car cure ahon.d bs sttemItad. He
said: The only important require
ment Is total abstention from mental
worry and toll, and on this point the
Gar has been found to be exceedingly
difficult 20 convince. The patient
should also have plenty OF sleep and food
and his digestion should be regular.
This, with open air exercise ahd good
climatic conditions, Is all that Is neceS-
sary TO effect cure.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances, however, the disease Is OF
lengthy duration, possibly years, and
the results are most uncertain"
NEW YORK, October "a represen-
ternoon showed DR.. George Sbrady a
COPY Of the dispatch giving the In
terview between Prof. LeYden, the
Cars physician and the Berlih corre-
spondent OF the Associated Press. DR..
Shrady read the dispatch carefully, aud
said: Assuming that Prof. Leyden Is
correctly reported, the outlook for the
Emperor Is exceedingly grave.
"The disease. as described, is incura-
bic, and, although happily, the distin-
guished patient is at present 10 COM
Portable condition, there is no guaran-
tee against sudden changes for the
worse, despite any treatment that can
be employed to prevent them.
The cardiac complications with the
attendant difficulty 10 breathing would
indicate gu advanced stage OF the
malady and leads 20 grave apprehea.
sions for the near future.
"The treatment suggested is as per-
feet as science can make it, and when
advised by such an authority as Prof.
Leyden Is beyond question"
The correspondent Of the Standard At
St. Petersburg telegraphs that be has
learned from an eye witness that Prof.
Zaccharin while Ia attendance upon the
car said TO him: Your NSjesty's
malady is lDcurable; with care and at
tention, your valuable life may be pro-
longed for some months, bat 10 IL USE
less 70 conceal the fact that no remedies
will avail beyond = certain period"
The En- peror after the interview en-
tered z room 10 which anun Der OF bis
relatives were assembled and said:
Professor Zsccbarin has just told
me there rs no hope"
The EmDero was yisibly affected and
those present we're thrown into a state
OF conformation By the change In bis
face and bearing. They greatly blamed
the Professor for bis irahkness.
The correspondent adds:
Il cannot doubt the Authenticity OF
the foregoing"
II is reported that Prof. Leyden con-
slders that Brights disease, from which
the Car is suffering, has existed for
two years. and that he was surprised
that the malady was not discovered be-
fore.
