KING COMPLETES ANOTHER DAY IN MARCH TO HEALTH
Satisfactory Bulletin
HAIR TURNED WHITE BY SEVERE ILLNESS
“DEFINITELY STRONGER.’’ Telegraph—Copyright. United Press Association—By Electric Received Friday, 2 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 17. The King had a good night. Progress, although slow, is satisfactory. The next bulletin will be issued Friday evening. Continued satisfaction is felt concerning the King’s condition, but although he has materially improved in the past fortnight, the impression that he has taken a big forward stride should not be formed. Progress, it is repeated, is extremely slow and tedious. Rays were again applied tonight. Lord Dawson was at the Palace for a shorter time than usual. The Daily News says the King has aged through his illness. His hair is now completely whito. Stronger Than at Any Time Since Illness MORE TAKEN. British Official Wireless. ... . RUGBY, Jan. 16. An official statement was made at Buckingham Palace this morning that the King’s slow progress was maintained. It was authoritatively stated that the King is now definitely stronger than at any time since the beginning of his illness. The increase of strength is, however, very gradual, and cannot be measured from day to day, though as compared with a fortnight ago, the King is considerably stronger. The difficulty of persuading His Majesty to take nourishment has been largely overcome, and for the past week he has been taking more food. This has been reflected in increased strength. There is a growing feeling of confidence in the King’s recovery at the Palace.
It is stated that when the weather shows signs of improvement the Queen, whose cold has almost vanished, will take her usual ,daily drive from the Palace. Prince George ,who has also been suffering from a cold, is better. It is officially stated at Buckingham Palace to-night that the King had a comfortable day, but that otherwise there is .no change. The next bulletin will be issued to-morrow morning.
