More in- forming was the weekly review in the British Medical Journal which remarked: "His Mayesty ismaklnu as much headway as can be expected at this stage of his long grave ill- ness. Since the beginning of tho new year the upward stops toward recovery have. we believe. outnum- bered tho qlownward steps." The journal added that an early and smooth oonvalesoence was out of the question after such a severe illness. but it pointed out that the general symptoms have been \ battered of latc. that the ‘wound from the cheat drainage operation is healing satisfactorily ~ and that the pulse rate has improved and is lass easily disturbed The Journal estimates of the urea content and calcium content of the king's blood have been made at ln- tervals by Professor Dodds. Atten- tion to the king's nourishment was called by o. dispatch from the Hague announcing that the Royal Dutch air line had aranged to transport daily to Iondon a supply of fresh milk and cream for the royal patient.
