Doctors $tU Insist Original Diag- ' nosis Correct - and That the ' Mind' oj. President Is Clear. PROGRESS' IS SATISFACTORY Fear of Setback Only Reason "Executive Is 'Not Permitted t" to Attend Presidential duties. - . , Ily Da rid Lis wren ce k. ' ' ' - Coprricht ltlt. Washington, Oct. XO. President 7 "Wilson is still a very sick man. En Veourarins; progress Is noted in the official bulletins, but his condition " Remains of such' a serious character .that none of those In attendance can 1 predict with certainty the time of Zjilm ultimate recovery. That the president is out of danger seems at "this- time assured, though an un foreseen complication can always upset the best of assurances in that regard with the president or any J other patient similarly affected. l Much guessing; as to the exact cause of '. the president's illness has been going on In different parts of the country, some ' based on hearsay, some based on long V distance diagnosis by physicians famii- lar" with what occurs In cases of a f nervous breakdown. Some Jbf these t truesses may yet prove right if the con s' ditlon of the president takes a turn for t "the worse, but thus far It Is fear of those ' complications rather than their actual 1? occurrence which has given rise to much t of the speculation concerning the presi dent s condition. V, BETAIL8 .KEPT SECEET There .seems to be a disposition to , question the completeness of the official I r bulletins and from a medical viewpoint they have, of course, not gone into the most intimate details. This has been no doubt due to the well known feeling or t' the president's family that the health of $! the president is In part, at least, a prl rr" vate matter, and that with the general '$! fasts" about his .Illness his tendency to fe improve or fall back, the public Bhould f be acquainted. S public I opinion has to some extent J" brought about a change, and yletdlng to criticism the White-House has men i rtfoned , one or two minor ailments. f though With the Impression, too, that fc aM the small complications were not lit themselves the basic cause of his in ; t; disposition. The' dootors still insist that the orig f ; lnaj diagnosis is correct that nervous t exhaustion is the central trouble, though r- it is apparent that many of these irri !' ; tatlng -complications have held back , h what otherwise might have been quicker ' $ recovery on the part of the patient with : a case of nerves. li" Krora a medical viewpoint the nossi- blities of a cerebral hemorrhage by a fc patient stricken with nervous exhaus tion, are of course recognised. There are oases In which such .a disturbance is serious and others in which it is slight arid passes off an a temporary delirium til a patlennt suffering from any fever. ,Q HEMORRHAGE OCCURRED . It is not always possible to recognize the existence of a slight hemorrhage, awl the best Information that seems ob tainable Is that if something like that has occurred l has been of such a slight character as not to leave a defi nite -trace, and not to affect in the slightest the clarity of the president's mind. It. Is perhaps because of an all too In tense eagerness upon the part of a small group of the president's opponents to spread an impression of incapacity that detail are omitted which might tend to confirm such an impression and still are basically without significance at alL " For instance, for some tlrre, even be fore . the president went to bed three weeks , ago, his friends have observed occasionally a twitching of one of the muscles of his face. It was a symptom thai helped determine the necessity for an absolute cancellation of work, but on the other hand reports have had it that Mr. Wilson suffered a paralysis of the entire face aad lower jaw. The doctors have noted since an im provement In that symptom; In fact, a tendency, for1 that , to clear up, but would they be Justified in Issuing a specific denial and then be met two or three days or weeks from now with a. recurrence of thm trouble to snore la tense form t, ,- v .' ..'. Ordinarily a physician la not required to disclose air-hi fears and hopes and when the - situation i - complicated by the tact that certain courses of treat ment are being prescribed by specialists and experts, each; one of whom-has his own ideas of what the future condition ,of the patient Is going to be, it can well be imagined what a amicuii - isk it is to Issue a comprehensive, bulletin stating up to the moment everything about the ease that the physicians them selves know. , ; So the reports given Out at the White House and signed by the doctors com prise general statements with an occa sional inclusion of a symptom If it seems acute. , - .. . All this simply means that the presi dent is still very sick; that his phy sicianssome of the pest specialists In the country are adopting every resource known to mod ical -science to bring the president back to normal, but that their vital need la time. Can they get enough of It?, They are going to keep Mr. Wil son from attending to public business Just as long as they can,' even if it takes several weeks.' Jus now they say bis mind is clear enough to transact public business. . - . There are no doubts on the score, on the part of any of the men in his ac quaintance who are in a position to know But If he tackled business too early or too much of it, he might suf fer a relapse and the physicians feel their professional reputations would suf fer, and the president too, . 80 they are holding Mr. Wilson apart from work as long as they can. If public opinion grows too Impatient and practically compels Mr. Wilson to demonstrate, that he is In possession of all his faculties, if the congress should attempt to raise the question of "in ability" under the constitution. Mr. Wil son no doubt would be permitted by his physicians to see 'a few callers and transact some vital and pressing matters of business. The length of time the president' is detached from publlq busi ness depends, therefore, very largely on the patience of the American peo ple themselves.
