London, July 4. The Lancet says that the King is progressing well.
Gauze plugs replace the drainage tubes, which he was unable to tolerate. The wound is granulating satisfactorily. The discharge is diminished and is
inodorous.
His Majesty suffers less, although the dressing is necessarily painful. His temperature has been normal since Thursday.
The British Medical Journal adds that the wound is dressed twice daily, and His Majesty has a refreshing sleep at night. It is unnecessary to at any time use sedatives. The patient is moved from one bed to another daily.
The King takes great interest in all going on around him and the general news of the day.
Sir F. Treves did not go to bed for the first seven nights. The load o£ anxiety has now lightened if not entirely disappeared. The remarkable recuperative powers of the King were of great assistance, and his sufferings were pluckily borne.
The Medical Journal says:—" There are all sorts of rumors as to His Majesty's general health. We are glad to state that they are altogether unfounded, and we appeal to the newspapers and the public to accept the simple facts and not circulate baseless, reports.
