THE QUEEN'S HEALTH.
Regarding the Queen's health, the Lancet states as follows .y-" We have seen with regret the attacks on the Queen, based On Her Majesty's absence from' evening entertainments, andon her brief residence in London. Now the fact is — and the more widely the fact is known and the more plainly it is stated the better —Her Majesty is not physically capable of bearing the effects of crowded or over-heated rooms, or of prolonged residence in London. The effect of entertaining in the evening produces great and immediate discomfort, followed by sleeplessness or disturbed rest and severe headache, and Her Majesty rarely visits Buckingham Palace without suffering in a similar manner. The profession will readily, without our entering more fully into so delicate a subject, understand the necessity for Her Majesty's medical ad- r yisers exercising the greatest diligence to prevent the recurrence of those symjK toms. It would appear as if some persons must forget that the Queen is a lady nearly fifty-three years of age, for they talk as if they expected her to possess the same remarkable physical vigor and nerve power she exhibited twenty years ago.
