FRENCH SCIENTIST GOING TO LONDON WITH CHLORO-SERUM

Treatment for the King CONCLUSIVE RESULTS WITH SIMILAR CASES CONDITION UNCHANGED. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received Tuesday, 2 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 9. The King had a fair night and his Condition is about the same. M. Max Salles, of Bordeaux, mventot of the cliloro-serum and ozone treatment for pneumonia, after communication with Lord Dawson, is going to London with his apparatus for an application of his treatment. Professor Creuehet, of Bordeaux University, confirmed conclusive results in cases of pneumonia similar to the King.

Hopeful But Not Confident Yet VERY GRADUAL PROGRESS. British Official Wireless. . . RUGBY, Jan. 8. The following bulletin was issued at 8.15 p.jn. to-day:—"The King has had a quiet day The condition of His Majesty remains unchanged No bulletin will be issued until to-morrow evening. (Signed) Stanley Hcwett, Dawson of Penn.”

Despite the aparently negative character of yesterday’s bulletin, optimism regarding the King’s progress is growing steadily in Buckingham Palace circles. Following a fair night, there was no change to report yesterday morning, and last night the doctors were able to announce that the King had had a quiet day, and that again there was no change in his yestcrday v s condition.' In the present stage of the illness "no change" does not imply regression, but its frequent use in recent bulletins marks the very gradual progress which the King is making. Although the feeling of hopefulness was further increased yesterday, it has not yet reached the stage o: confidnce. For the public the most rassuring feature of 'last night's bulletin was the announcement that no morning bulletin would be issued to-day. Hitherto two bulletins have been issued daily, except on Sundays and during the public holidays at Christmas; the omission to issue a report this morning is undoubtedly a favourable sign. Lord Dawson of Penn and Sir Hugh Rigby were in consultation with Sir Stanley Hewett yesterday morning for an hour and a half. Sir Stanley Hcwctt remained at the Palace, but the other doctors did not call in the afternoon. In the evening Lord Dawson and Sir Sanlcy Hewett .signed the bulletin without attendance. There was no further application of the ray-therapy treatment. .’ Princess Mary, Viscountess Lascelles and Viscount Lascelles, who have been staying at the Palace, are expected to leave for Goldsborough Hall, Yorkshire, to-day. At Buckingham Palace it is considered that the fact that the King’s condition is unchanged may be taken as a definite indication that he is on the up-grade-. The King's doctors have made it clear that they are satisfied as to his' progress, for there will be no further bulletin until tonight. With tho exception of Christmas Day and Boxing Day, this was the first weekday on which no bulletin was issued in the moYning. There wore only two doctors at the Palace last night, and a definitely'more hopeful air prevailed. Sir Stanley Hewett, Sir Hugh Rigby, and Lord Dawson were in consultation for an hour and a half. It is understood that the King had a good night, that his condition gives cause for satisfaction, and that, though a further improvement is not yet reported, the King is on the up-gTado.
