LONDON, December 8. All five
physicians who have been attending
King George returned to the palace this
afternoon and held a further consulta-
ton on his majesty's condition.
1t was understood that the object of
the consultation was to make further
comprehensive review of the entire case.
Those who attended were Sir Stanley
Hewitt, Lord Dawson of Penn, Sir Hum
phrey Rolleston, Sir E. Farquhar Buzz
zard and Dr. H. Graham Hodgson, *
ray specialist. DR.. L. E. H. Whitby, a
lung specialist, who conducted bacte-
biological examination recently. was not
present.
While it was thought that the ply
sicians might decide to issue bulletin
after their consultation, the indications
were that none would be given out until
the usual hour this evening.
Despite the fact that the Kings tenn
perature was stated to be up this morn
ing, there were indications in the official
bulletin on his condition that might be
regarded as satisfactory.
The physicians report indicated that
the King had several hours of refresh
ing sleep after the disturbed day which
he passed yesterday, and apparently he
held ground which he had previously
gained.
Temperature Is Higher.
The bulletin. signed bv Sir Stanley
Hewett and Lord Dawson of Penn,
read:
THE King has had some hours of
sleep. The temperature is still raised
on account of the local lung condition,
The general condition is the same"
This morning was the coldest of the
Winter thus far, but the nip in the air
seemed only to have the effect OF stimu-
lating the gathering of one of the
largest weekday crowds which have as
yet assembled outside Of Buckingham
Palace to await the official bulletin.
Among the spectators were many
groups of former service men from vari-
Gus parts of the country who had come
to London for the birthday anniversary
of "Toc H" a famous ex-Servicemen's
organization.
Many Read Good News.
A continuous stream of motor cars
kept passing by, hating near enough to
the palace ratings to enable the Occu-
pants to look over the heads of the
crowd and read the big black letters of
the bulletin which gave the encouraging
news that the King had passed rather
reStful night.
1t was nearly noon when Sir Stanley
and Lord Dawson issued their bulletin.
They had gone to the palace fairly early
in the morning and we're about an hour
and half in consultation before giving
| out their report.
Palace cffcles were said to regard the
| physicians statement that the Kings
general condition remained the same as
| the most important feature about the
| bulletin. The Kings temperature, 1t
was understood, had not gone to a
| higher level the doctors phrase in this
connection being interpreted as indi-
eating that 1t was still subject to con-
siderable variation because of the local
| lung condition.
The issuance of today's bulletin fol-
| lowed an interesting routine in the
palace for its distribution, Just as on the
| occasion of the posting of previous re-
ports.
The first person to see the bulletin
each day is the Queen. to whom 1t Is
sent Immediately after It's preparation.
| The contents are then made known by
! telephone to all of his maiesty's rela-
tivies living in London, while it is tele-
graphed TO those abroad. The Duke
of Connsught, the Kings uncle, for in
