s:s5 a. m.-The only nourish1nent Pope
Leo now seems to prefer Is the yolk of an
egg mixed with narsala.
Seeing DR.. Mazzoni shortly after he
awoke the pontiff said: -..-a.
This is the first time since the be-
ginning of my illness that I have had
some really peaceful SLEEP" -s.-s.
DR.. Mazoni replied: E ~, 4
1T is the effect Of the opiate."
The pope said there is one thing your
skill cannot ccomplish-diminish my
ninety-four years. .-.s- -...ss
The most important thing now recon-
mended by DR.. Mazzoni is nourishment for
the patient. He said: .
plants need water when dry"
$40 a. m.-As a consequence of the
operation performed yesterday the cyan
osis Of the last finger joints has disap-
peared, proving that it was caused by
vitiated circulation due to pressure of the
pleura on the lungs. III, ...
Not SO Favorable. -.
1885 a. MAS can be seen by the
morning bulletin the pope's condition to-
day Is not so favorable as it was last
night, due to the fact that the improve
ment after the operation Of yesterday has
not assumed the. proportions IIe uoCtoAS
wished. While the Inflammation Of the
lungs is decreasing the patients general
condition does not improve and there is
a tendency towards a radical change for
the worse. >-s-'- -.- ..-..-,- .".--'
: The pontiff is extremely weak and even
chloroform seems to have lost Its power
to give the sufferer the relief Of tranquil
rest. Besides what depresses the pope
Is the difficulty he is experiencing in
~ tfnA h.
upon the point of strangulation and then
his breathing gradually becomes weaker
until his heart apparently stops.
Another great anxiety Of the doctors Is
the arrangement of the patients kidneys
as result Of which blood poisoning is
feared. ..--. ....-.. .f,..
The outlook now is that the popes life
may perhaps be prolonged more than
could have been expected thirtysix hours
ago, but the hopes of his recovery are
still very small. t.
The following particulars were obtained
OF the doctors visit this morning to the
pope: -.

II do not feel as well. am weaker
replied the pontiff. .'- ~.
Perhaps you did not sleep sufriciently?'
''No, no." answered the pope, Il was
better last night. T am sorry, because
| too day should be day Of great work"
DR.. Mazzoni replied: His holiness doe:
| not intend to work." ....
Certainly" answered the pope. II have
so many things to do, but am afraid
have not the strength -..
| Both Of the. doctors then proceeded tt
convince the pontiff of the necessity fol
rest urging him not to place obstacle:
in the way Of his recovery. ~
II shall do as you WISH said the pope

sire to rise, saying he would be more com

The pope's attendant, Pho Cintra, the,
proceeded to help him to arise, but tn
pope refused his assistance, saying h
could still go by himself. In fact, with
out any help, except that afforded by hi
cane the pontiff walked a few steps t.
his arm chair, repeating now and then:
Il am weaker, I am weaker"
! Part Of the work referred to by tn
pope was to repeat novena, to the Ma
donna of the CarInelites, whose feast be
gins to-day. The pope Is a very devou
generator Of this Madonna, always carry
ing her scapular about his neck.

DR.. Mazzoni, speaking about the pop
this afternoon. remarked.
ut has always been said that Pope LIE
!, has shown powers of extraordinary re
sistance to diseases of the constitution
hut the absolute harmony of his physica
moral and intellectual makeup is the res
, cause Of his great resistance to illness.
Notwithstanding his advanced age an

stitution capable Of enabling him to re

the pope.
A Great Sufferer.

"The LIQUID taken from the pleura ms

be necessary but I hope not. Some Of tt
LIQUID may remain and often the lit

which may be the case with the pontiff
? Catastrophe is Imminent"
2:2o D. m.-The pope had another fain
ing fit to-day. The action of his hea
+. is very feeble and his condition has aga
" become very critical. He has becon
