Different Story Of King's Health
Received Smldaj-, 7 p.m. NEW YORK, Dec. 12. - The Xew York Times, in a dispatch from London dealing with the King's illness, reported that' on "the best authority that the Xew York Times' bureau in London has been able to con,sult— and it is pretty , iiigfi — " that" there has been what is called a non•co'rnmittai dia'gnosis meanirig, without assurance, that Tving George has "intermittent claudication. " This "is a form of partial obstruction causing lanieness connected witli the liard-ening oi' tlie arteries and is often susceptibie of satisfactory relief and even virtual cure given proper rest and treatmeht over a period of about six months. At tlie same time it is an ailinent that could talce a serious turn, in which case an operation would be necessary. Sho'uld gangrene set in — and that is ab vvays a possibility in the early stages oi treatment — amputation would be necessary. What is important for 'the time being, is that there is everv reason to believe the cautious responsible bulletins of the King's physieians. They make it clear that the King is improving slowly and that there is no sign whatever of gangrene.
