HR GLADSTONE’S ILLNESS.
The “Lancet,” tho leading organ of the medical profession, thus refers _to Mr Gladstone’s illness, after describing the progress of the attack —“Wo cannot, speaking medically, acquit Mr Gladstone altogether of tho charge of having recently neglected to remember that even his powers havo a limit; but this is to be said, to the credit of his judgment, that he has been a most submissive patient, and, to the credit of his splendid and well-preserved constitution, that, he has passed through a testing illness without tho slightest sign of failure in the great vital organs, and in a way to justify the hopes of his countrymen that he will, with a little more consideration for his physical needs, bo long spared to play his conspicuous part in the councils of the nation. No illness since that of the Prince of Wales has produced such profound and universal anxiety. Mr Gladstone will have the most refined sense of this interest, and cannot better recognise it than by taking a little more care of himself.”
