Physicians Encouraged
Over Condition OF Patient

Washington, Oct 19-Further pro-
gress by President Wilson in recover
ing from his attack Of nervous ex-
haustion was indicated today by his
physicians. Although the midday bull
letin from the White House was Il
conservative statement. saying that
the President had rested we'll AMI
that there had been no material
change in his condition, it was
learned from members from the
Presidents official family that Rear
Admiral Grayson and the other phv-
sicians consulted in the case were
greatly encouraged.
DR.. Grayson, who has spent the
night at the White House ever since
the President returned from his
speaking tour three weeks ago today,
was not called to the patients bell
side at all last night. 1t was the
first time in two weeks that some
phase of his patients condition had
not made it necessary for him to at
tend him after he had retired for the
night.
DR.. Grayson spent much of the
morning with the President, and
after visits by Doctors Ruffin and
Stitt the following bulletin was is
sued:
There is no material change in
the Presidents condition. He slept
we'll during the night
The encouragement manifested by
Presidents physicians and others Of
his household was understood to be
due not so much to any marked I'M
provement as to success of efforts
made to allay the effects Of the all
ments incident to Mr.. Wilson's gen.
eral condition. Great Importance has
~heen attached to the elimination Cf
the secondary ailments. because with
these curbed the physicians believe
the neurasthenic condition will grad
ually respond to the treatment being
administered.
The President has been permitted
to sit up occasionally and has in
sisted at times that he be permitted
to attend to some work. His physi-
clans have insisted that for the time
being he must be content to wait
Callers are not permitted to see him,
but numerous reminders of their
visits are sent to his room, one today

House by three enlisted men of the
