"LAPPONI.
"MAZZONI.''


o'clock this morning it was learned from
Dr. Mazzoni that the condition OF the Pom
tiff had not changed since the issue of the
evening bulletin, which announced that
the patients state grave. At 1880
o'clock last night DR.. Lapponi declared his
fear that there was no hope, but that death
might not come during the night
At 4 o'clock this morning ii was stated
that the injections given first by Dr. Maz-
zoni and then by DR.. Lapponi had in part
the desired effect, as the Pope succeeded
IN getting some sleep although his slum-
Der was not entirely tranquil. The patients
diet has been somewhat hghtened since
the attack of diarrhoea yesterday and is
now limited mainly to meat broth and beef
tea.
NO SECOND OPERATION
At midnight a report, coming from the
Vatican itself. gained currency that Dr.
AIazzoni had again operated on the Pope
and extracted serum which had again
gathered in the pleuraI cavity The surgeon
was found at his home at l:3O o'clock TINS
morning and, although extremely tired Dr-
Mezz0n said: 1t is untrue that new OPP
Grafton has been performed L was with
the Pope from IL p. m. until after mio-
night and found his general condition sta
tionary. no change having taken place since
tbs afternoon, when the consultation with
Or. Rossoni was held. To strengthen the
PATIENTS heart and to help circulation Oh
the blood L injected camphor and caffeine,
after which the Pope, who seemed some
what relieved said he remembered having
been treated on camphor basis when ne
was nuncio at Brussels sixty years ago.
In reply TO a question, DR.. Mazzoni re-
4 piled: Il really cannot say whether the
| serum in the pleural cavity has increased
| since the consultation this afternoon. as L
did not examine his Holiness for such pur-
/ pose. Ii must be understood the Pope Is
/ too fran TO be handled like other people.
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 pronounced manner, wnie
the left side curves in. In tO-morrow's visit
attention will be centered especially on The
progression in the secretion of serum. Then
decision will be taken TO whether a
new operation is necessary.
CRITICS RIDICULED.
DR.. Mazzoni ended by ridculing the crit
