CANNOT BEHANDLED
LIKE YOUNGER MEN

Il really cann4 say whether the Sc
rum in the pleurA cavity has increased
since the consultation this afternoon,
as l did not examine hissho1iness for
such purposes 1t must be under
stood that the spopeSis too frail to be
handled like other people. i Besides,
his thorax. through old age. has become
bent in such a way that the right side,
where pneumonia was first detected,
curves out in a very pronounced man-
ner. while the left side curves in. In
tomorrow's visit attention will be es-
pecially conferred onstfae progress in the
secretion of serur Then a decision
will be taken as to whether a new
operation is necessary" -
/ DR.. MazzonfF ended by ridiculing the
criticism, objections and advice
which, he said, people, most of whom
are famous only for never having been
heard of, allow themsel YES to advance

"The gravest accusation is that spleu-
risy was not discovered in time. # Wis.
tied the pope Tor frst time on suns
day. On Mondayeveni i discovered
the fluid, and ION Tuesday removed it.
Any student OF medicine knows con-
tinued DR.. Mazzonia that sometimes
weeks pass before thespresenee of Sc
rum is detected. myself once had
pleurisy, which, the doctor only dis
covered fifteen days aftersI was taken
ILL.,"
The condition of Pope Leo at times
yesterday morning seemed SO favor
able that the hopeful, DIR. Mazzoni and
the more conservative Lapponi united
in expressing the belief that there was
some slight prospect of recovery, but
within a few hours these brighter pros
poets disappeared before the most
alarming conclusions reached after the
lengthy consultation of the doctors.
The earlier hopes had been inspired
largely by the puntiffs outward evil
dence of vigor, ashe was able to rise,
walk and commaa5d fall his faculties;
but the later consultation disclosed
that these OUTWARD evidences of
strength were entirely deceptive, as
the real danger c@Esisted in the grad
ual internal progress of the. insidious
diseases.
The mere factY of the consultation.
in itself, gave rise to the gloomiest
forebodings. Indeed. y this was the first
actual consultations as the previous
frequent meetings of the doctors were
not regarded as FORMAL consultations.
Today, however, Dr.: Rossini, the dis
tinguished specialist of the Baccelli
school, was callea iato@a consultation
lasting two hours during which every
phase of the patienTs, case was minute
" gone over. The conclusions an
nounced in the 7:'aD O'Clock bulletin
showed that liquid Is again rapidly
gathering in the pleural cavity and
that the pope's general condition is
very grave. The bulletin read:
1.-THE general condition of the illus
trious patient having become depress-
ed, a consultation was held at o'clock,
with the participation of Prof. Rossini.
From objective examination it appears
that the liquid is again rapidly gather
! ing in the pleura. The sounds of the
heart are weak, without any symptoms
| of yalvular lesion. The pulse is easily
compressible and has 80 pulsations in
stead of 65, which is normal. The
breathing is superficial and at long in
| tervals. The kidneys are not perform
! ing their regular functions. The state
of his holiness is considered grave"
