Caruso's Illness

Caruso'S Illness
New York, Aug. 2.-The last word
received here from Naples was thai
Enrico Caruso was improving nicely
and that his voice would not be per.
manently impaired by his illness.
When the tenor sailed from New
York for Italy on May 2S, he appeared
to be still very ill., although his ply
sicians insisted he was on the road
to rapid recovery and would soon re
gain his health abroad.
Caruso's illness began during last
Christmas week when he suffered an
attack of pleurisy and was confined
to his suite in the Hotel Vanderbilt.
His condition growing worse, the sing
er few days later, underwent an
operation to reneve him of an accum
ulation of pus in the plemal cavity
eXudate having collected between the
pleura and the lungs themselves. Ii
was deemed advisable to operate
again for a secondary abscess.
After these operations Caruso con
tinued in serious condition for
more than week and was lowering
between life and death Early in Feb
ruary there was sudden turn for
the worse and he suffered an attack
of heart failure His friends were
called to his bedside and two priests
visited him and one administered eX-
treme JUNCTION, the belief being that
the singer was near death. A group
OF specialists were constantly at the
bedside of Caruso fighting to have his
life. They were aided in their work
by the aid of oxygen that was admin
istered to the patient in an effort 10
carry him through the crisis. During
the latter part of February the con
dition of the noted singer improved
slowly but surely, although it was
necessary for him to undergo Il. third
operation for a small abscess. 4 few
weeks later he was removed to At
lantic City where he rested up prep.
atory to his return to Italy.
Word of the first illness of Caruso.
at the time he was stricken with
pleurisy game as shock to his many
friends in this country and abroad as
he had been singing with the Metro
politan Opera Company during the.
present season, here and in PhiladelI
phia, and was enjoying one of the best
seasons of his life.
Messages from all parts of the
world inquiring as to his illness were
received at the Caruso apartment
They came from London, Paris, Mex
leo City, Rome, Milan, Buenos Aires,
Havana and many other points.
