DOCTORS DIFFER
FIGHT OVER FERDINAND’S ILLNESS EACH COUNTERMANDS OTHER?S PRESCRIPT lONS. KING SAID TO BE DOOMED. (United Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received Jan. 12, 5.5 p.m.) PARIS, Jan. 11 An uncensored telegram from Rumania states that wrangling amongst King Ferdinand’s doctors is adding to the tragedy of the King s light with death. The Royal surgeon, Professor Juvara, is accused of diagnosing hermorrhoids, when the disease is really cancer. The rivalry between Professor Juvara, and the other Royal physician, Professor ■Gerota, ended in each countermanding the other’s prescription until Queen Marie ordered both to abide by the instructions of Dr. Hartmann, the Fr«»ch surgeon. For the purpose of calming public anxiety, the Queen asked Professor Gerota to sign. a statement that the wound had been healed but Professor Gerota refused, stating it was untrue. Another doctor who examined King Ferdinald states that the cancer has grown devastatingly. A further operation is impossible, and early death is inevitable. The King was normally twelve stone in weight but now is only eight stone.—A. and N.Z.C.A.
