The British Medical Journal in its current issue gives some
very interesting facts as to the progress of the case. "The temperature fell gradually, and is now normal ; the general constitutional condition has been everything that could be desired, and the anxiety necessarily felt at first owing to the seat of the abscess opened at the operation on June 24th has given way to a feeling of confidence that the King, thanks in no small degree to a sound constitution, will make a good recovery." The greatest anxiety was felt at first, and Sir Frederick Treves, Sir Thomas Barlow, and Sir Francis Laking were in constant attendance in the Palace. Sir Frederick Troves, adds the British Medical Journal, did not go to bed for the first seven nights; but this load of anxiety has now been lightened, if it has not entirely disappeared.
