BRITISH KNEES nEALrH.



LONDON, November 2-When such Sc
rfous and ultra respectable papers as the
London Times and Lancet deem 1t adyisa-
BILE to display announcements that King
Edward is not Ill, it can be reasonably
deducted that very general impression
to the opposite prevailed among those up
per classes by which such papers are read.
There is every reason to believe that the
king was suffering within the last few
weeks from an liberated throat. which
those closely attached to him, especially
the women of his own family, feared might
be the forerunner Of cancer.
According to the pronouncements OF the
doctors their fears are unfounded. But
King Edward is prohibited from smoking
and Is forbidden the use of any alcoholics.
Whether the physicians are conceaiing the
truth. even from the royal patient and his
family is secret history alone can reveal,
but it is evident from the kings public ap-
pearances that there is nothing very imrai-
nently dangerous in his condition.
