Pain.

Rome, May 19.-When DR.. Lapponi visit

health, although the pontfff passed a
somewhat restless night as the result of
bis attack Of govt.
Owing to a slight rise in the tempera-
tUre. DR.. LappOn ordered the pope to re-
main in bed for several days.
Although the condition of the pope is
not grave some apprehension is felt at
the frequency of the govt attacks through
exposure to cold, diSOTdered digestion and
fatigue The present attack seems to
have had its origin through the pope

holiness was quite warm, and in passing
through the thick walled vatican court
yards, where the atmosphere is damp, he
refused to put on his cloak When the
first symptoms of the trouble appeared he
refused to rest and take proper care of
himself and insisted on giving long and
fatiguing audiences to all the dignitarieS
Of the Dominican order.
The govt. which previously had only at
tackled his foot has now reached the
pope's left knee. which is considerably
swollen and gives him acute pain. Con-
siderable Inflammation is present The
temperature of his holiness today was 90
