The lost ground has more or less been recovered, consequently anxiety has been lessened. The margin of safety, is however, still small, as no actual progress, compared with. Monday When his- condition became stationary, has.occurred. To-day’s slight advance is. due chiefly to the fact that it lias been possible for His Majesty to- take nourishment.

FOR- TREATMENT OF LOCAL CONDITION. Received 2.30 p.m. to-day. LONDON, Dec. 28. When the Leviathan berthed at Southampton the first thing put ashore was a small but heavy package, which was at once handed over to the King’s home messenger and -placed in a Foreign Office box and hurried to Buckingham Palace. It is stated officially from the palace that tlie package contained a preparation known as Dakin’s solution, which was used by the Allied armies in war time for sterilisation of wounds. Dr. O’Neill Sherman, of the Carnegie Steel Company, suggested sending a supply for treatment for the King. It is' stated that it will be used for treatment of the local condition, but it is in nowise associated with the new treatment already referred to.
