HIS PHYSICIANS, HOWEVER. HAVE NOT
GIVEN Up HOPE
CONDITION SUCH AS TO CAUSE ANXIETY
PAINFUL ATTACKS THROUGHOUT THE
DAY AND THE PRECEDING NIGHT
DOCTORS IN CONSTANT AT
TENDANCE


This is the only construction which can be
placed on the bulletins issued by the physicians
yesterday and was virtually admitted in con-
versaton by those who are attending the sick
mans bedside. 1t Is not necessary to enlarge
on the grief and apprehension which the news
Of Mr.. Kipling's condition is causing. All over
the country. in Great Britain. in TTindustan, In
South Africa in Australasa-every place that
the English language is spoken. there thou
sands OF persons who watch anxiousy for each
piece Of news as it comes from the Hotel Greno-
ble in this city
Even those nearest to Mr Kiping who know
how universal the demand for everything from
his pen has become. have been astonished al
the evidences Of personal anxiety and affection
shown by the innumerdble telegraph and cable
messages OF inquiry and coincidence that have
been received If sympathy could cure man
Mr. Kipling would have been well by now In
deed. these messages from all over the world
were read 10 him in the earlier stages of his
Illness. and cheered him greatly, but even this
has been forbidden by the doctors. Not
that Mr. Kpng needs encouragement to help
him fight the disease. He Is making as plucky
a fight as was ever made but one Of the most
terrible qualities Of the disease from which he
is suffering IS that il often attacks a robust
healthy and temperate man such he with
greater fury and more frequently with fatal
results than the weak and sckly.

attitude Of the physicians since Mr.. Kiplngs
