Melba In Delirium All
The Time; German Is
Directing Cure

SYDNEY, n. S. w, Feb. 20.-R
Condition Of Dame Nellie Melba,
Australian Diva who IS seriously Ill
here, has grown steadily graver and
she Is now almost constantly de-
liri0uS.
Il vas understood today that
treatment is being partly directed
by cables from a German physician
IN whom the prima donna reposed
great confidence and who gave her
some relief before she made a pre-
Christmas trip back 70 Australia
from Europe.
Friends here believe that her de-
sire TO come back TO Australia be-
fore Christmas may have been the
means OF bringing on what many
fear is a fatal illness. Under treat
ment Of continental physicians she
had fought off a strange malady
she believed she contracted IN
Cairo. Egypt, and was getting well.
During the voyage back to Aus
tralia the malady required and II
was necessary TO take her from the
ship at Sydney. There she grew
better and decided to continue TO
Melbourne but en- route came down
oqain with the disease, which Is
marked by considerable number Of
boils and apparently is caused by
some toxic condition in the blood.
