DR.. COOK IN MAINE
Reported to be in a Sanitarium Recu-
perating- Not Mentally Affected

Boston, Dec 10.-The Traveller
publishes the following:
DIR. Frederick A. Cook explorer
and claimant for the honor of having
discovered the North Pole is in a de-
cidedly nervous condition. but is not
likely to die or to suffer permanent
effects from his strain of the last few
months"
The Traveller is enabled to make
this statement on the authority of DR.
r. S. Pitt, superintendent Of the Pine
Tree Sanitarium at Wells, Maine,
where Dr. Cook is a patient. DR..
Pitt, accompanied by Mrs. Pitt is
visitor at the home of George Whit
field Vys, the Cambridge author.
DIR. Cook is himself a skilled ply
sician," said DR.. Pitt. He was able
to diagnose his own condition and
prescribed for himself what treat
ment he required. But it was not
medicine he needed-not bit of it.
His sole need is rest and absolute
quiet and that is his only treatment.
There is no truth whatever in any
stories as to his mental Illness Men
tally, he is as bright as a new dollar
"He is anxious, naturally, as to the
decision of the Copenhagen people
He hopes the report will be so decid
eddy favorable as to leave his critics
no ground to stand upon
DR.. Pitt brushed aside with a laugh
all questions as to what might happen
to DR.. Cook mentally if the Copenha-
gen scientists should decide he had
not reached the pole
THAT is impossible he said. Il be-
lieve in him. He is all right"
fBut even if that should happen
he added, do not think Dr. Cook
would go insane or die. People don't
come up to my place to die. They
come to recuperate and DR.. Cook is
certainly recuperating.
