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. '
