Lancet Reviews Case

TOO WIDE SIGNIFICANCE TO CALCIUM TREATMENT

Received Frida v, 7 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 10.

The Lancet agrees that a startling Improvement in the King’s condition is not to be expected but the progress, though slight, is definite. There is still difficulty in feeding and washing and exhaustion, which cannot be overcome without long effort. The exhaustion is especially due to the long, gallant and extended struggle for life, nn element which throughout has given the gravest anxiety. Considerable periods may pass without notable changes. Unwelcome prominence has been given to one doctor and an old remedy revived in a new form. We offer our sympathy to Dr. E. C. Dodcls, whose valuable investigations have been given too wide significance in many quarters. His advent did not coincidewith any drastic change in the patient’s condition, or in the treatment adopted.

King Unlikely to Leave England

DOCTORS’ ADVICE WILL BE FOLLOWED.

Received Friday, 7.35 p.m. . LONDON, Jan. 10,

The King's condition continues to give satisfaction. Lord Dawson was in consultation with Sir Stanley Hcwctt for 90 minutes to-night. The rays were re-applied.

The Prince of Wales dined with the Queen. The Dukes of York and Gloucester, who have been shooting at Sandringham, will return on Saturday. Prince George and the Prince of Wales are expected to go to Sandringham on ."Monday for several days’ shooting. It is authoritatively learned that no arrangements havo been made as to the place where the King will eventually go to recuperate. At present it is over-early for an official announcement with regard to tlic matter but in due course, will exercise tlic minds ot' those close in touch with his Majesty. It will not be an easy problem but naturally, the advice of the doctors will bo followed and undoubtedly they will desire to remove the King from London as soon as possible. It is doubtful, bowc-vcr, whether they will select a place outside England.
