Take Years and 10 Uncertain--Gran-
ulatsd Contraction Of the Kidneys.
BERLIN, October 11.--Prof. Leyden,
the specialist, recently in attendance
upon the Gar, says:
"The Gar has q powerful constitu-
ton, and still weighs 200 pounds, though
he has lost much flesh since January 1,
and he should be able to make good
fight against the disease with favorable
climatic influences, as at Corfu on the
Island of Madeira, and without unfore-
seen complications he may recover. The
illness Of the Gar is peculiar. His prin-
cipal trouble is granulated contraction
of the kidneys, in which the kidneys be-
come hard and change tissue, besides
being subject to atrophy. This il accom-
panied by hypertrophy of the heart, re-
sulting from the enlargement of its mus
cular tissue. This latter leads to the
breathing difficulty, and is often very
painful, the spasms being complicated by
fits OF unconsciousness. This is the case
with the Gar. There is no dropsy, how
ever. Diabetes in the preliminary stage
has declared itself, but it is merely SYM
pathetic and the accompaniment Of the
main trouble. When further advanced,
this frequently results in partial or en-
tire paralysis. Thus far, however, there
does not appear to be any immediate
danger with the Gar. The most inn
portant requirement is total abstinence
from mental worry, and on this point
the Gar has been found exceedingly diff
ficult to convince. The patient should
also have plenty of sleep and food diges-
ton be regular. This with open-air ex-
ercise and good climatic conditions is all
that is necessary to effect cure. Under
the most favorable circumstances, how.
ever, the disease is of lengthy duration,
possibly years, and the results are most
uncertain"
Referring to the prospects of regency
in Russia, Prof. Leyden remarked:
"The question of the appointment ol
a regent was discussed at Spala in my
presence, but no decision was reached. y
Prof. Leyden concluded:
"a regency will become necessary,
however, II cure is to be effected"
DIR. zAcHARIS's BLUNT OPINION.
LONDON, October 1.-THE Standards
correspondent in St. Petersburg sends
the following story, the facts of which,
he says, he learned through an eal
witness: When DR.. Zacharin told the
Gar that his malady was incurable
that care and attention might prolone
his life . few months, but that it was
useless to conceal the fact that no RENE
dies would avail beyond acertain period
the Czar was terribly affected. He en-.
tered another room and exclaimed TO the
occupants:
DIR. Zacharin has just told me there
is no hope"
Everybody was thrown into consterna
ton by the Cars change of face and
mien, and greatly blamed DIR. Zscharir
for speaking so bluntly. The CORE
spondent vouches for the correctness o
the story, and he adds:
"The Czarowitz will very shortly re
turn here accompanied by the Crane
Duke Michael. The two will preside
over the Council of State and act jointly
They will be Regents in everything ex
cept the name. Army reports have al
ready been submitted to the Czarowitz
who will probably assume the chief com
mand almost Immediately. His mar
riage appears to be somewhat removed
partly owing to the tradition that NJ
Gear may marry within . year OF hi
coronation. 1t is reported that PROBES
sor Leyden is less hopeless concerning
the Czar than is DR.. Zacharin. He con
siders that the disease must have existe'
two years, and he is astonished that
was not detected at an earlier stage
when treatment is more likely to hav
been efficient"
