Course.
BY Associated Press


ROME. Jan. 19.-The physicians
in attendance upon Pope Benedict
Drs. Battaistini and BignrnI. after
-heir evening visit, described the
bronchial affection from which the
pope is suffering as taking the usua
course. The temperature was slight
~ more than 100. a little higher than
the morning temperature.
The feeling az the Vatican appears
10 be that the pope's illness is not
grave. DR.. Marchiafava, noted
medical authority, has been in con-
sultation with the other physicians.
Many diplomats visited the Vatic-
an Thursday seeking news; all Of
them were received in the ante
chamber. none being permitted 70
disturb the patient.
Notwithstanding the optimism,
there is no assurance that the at
tack has been checked. al that
could be said at the Vatican was that
the physicians hoped 10 prevent the
spread OF the disease and avoid
complications.
