The danger fn»tn pneumonia was believed tn he over, and there was a lessening nf the hron. < hlal symptoms. While this optimistic bulletin caused great rejoicing In the Vatican and throughout the Roman Catholic world, it was pointed out. however, that ths weakened condition of the Pontiff made him susceptible to slight < hanges and a setback might result d. splte the strenuous exertions of th# I doctors. Doctors’ Bulletin Favorable. The 1:30 bulletin (6:30 a. m. At lanta timet, signed by Drs. Marchia fava and Amid, follows: Pope Pius X is again without fever. His temperature at this hour is 98.1. His cough is dimin ishing and expectoration is easy and copious. His general condi tion is satisfactory. Dr. Marchiafava admitted that sev. . ral days must elapse before the cri sis shall have elapsed, and that “any ' thing might happen In the mean j u hile.” While the Pope has made aatisfac- L tory progress In one direction, he -eems to have failed in another. One I of his kidneys has become so affected i that It Is useless. He Is steadily los ing weight from his illness and has become so emaciated that friends find difficulty in recognizing him. This statement has just been given out by a prelate attached (o the Vatican menage. In normal health the Ponttff has a portly figure, but has been nested away by the Intermittent high fever of the past week. Physician Watches All Night. Dr. Amid remained In an ante room adjoining that of the sick room I all night. The Pope secured a fairly good night's rest, although his sleep was broken at times by fits of coughing. The weather is still unusually cold, a factor which is militating against the Pope’s recovery. The Pontiff objects tv artificial heat and complained be cause It was used in his chamber. The Pontiff is showing unexpected strength In spite of his infirmities - and the small amount of nourishment he has taken, his strength is still as | aaval. Th, Pontiff i» said not to be show ing lite same keenness of mind which marked the earlier days of his illness. However, his mind moves quickly, considering his , ondltion. Some of the cardinals of the Curia answered the request of the doctor and sent i-’tltlons to His Ho'fhess asking him to obey his doctors so that his recovery would not lie retarded. Great interest was expressed to-day n the vision which the Pontiff had I yesterday. He has always been a ‘ man of intense imagination and a ' •'ream.
