Pontiff Unable to Stand Longer
Than Few Minutes at Time,
Says Rome Report.
ADVANCED AGE Us A FACTOR
Messages and Injection Treatments
Ordered by Vatican Physi-
clans, Found Beneficial.

Rome, June 1.-Notwithstandin
the many reassurIng reports about
+ His Holiness recovery the fact il
known here and abroad that his re.
cent Illness has left the holy father
a hopeless invalid. His recovery is
far from being ian assured thing
owing to his advanced age,
Accoring to one story the chief
source Of anxiety and apprehension
is the Pope's extreme weakness, es-
pecially of the lower limbs. Ever
since his fever disappeared and His
holiness was a lowed to leave his
bed he has never been able to stand
for more than few minutes at a
time. Walking has been found to
be utterly impossible.
IL was thought at first even this
debility would in the end he over
come, bat the messages and injection
treatments ordered by Professor
Marchiafava and Dr. Amici have
proved to be absolutely useless aud
have been discontinued.
The Pope now is taken back
and forth from his bedroom to his
private library, chapel and dining
room in wheeled .ehair 1t has
been remarked that His Holiness
now receives his relatives, few
high prelates, who visit him and
members Of, his Suite in the small
private pariors and never leaves his
wheeled chair except to return to
bed,
Whenever 1t is necessary for the
Pope to stand up either Sill, his per-
sonal valet, or his private secre-
taries, Mgrs Pescina and Bresssan,
are on hand to support him.
This also explains why, since his
1llness, His Holiness never has visit
ed the large library on the floor be-
low his private apartment, where
usually are held the audiences of
Cardinals and other distinguished
visitors.
