Yet these same doctors have per- formed one of the miracles of modern medicine in bringing the King through the cries of an ill- nees which, in nine cases out of ten. would have proved fatal.

No hint of their abilities can be scen in these men. To talk to they are just like any other doctors and yet they have achieved something that has made their names bywords in every part of the world.

sibility for the case as a whole. Lord Dawson is a man of grave demeanour, his face worn and lined as the result of many a long vigil at Royal bedaides, his voies clear and resonant, with pleasant in dexions.

**

As befits a man whose utterances are of national importance, he weighs every word when speaking of his Royal patient, and is not to be betrayed into any indiscreet pro phesies

Sir Stanley, too, is usually scrious and pre-occupied. He is even less likely to commit an indis cretion than Lord Dawson, for it is only rarely, and to a very few people, that he will speak of the King.

Tall and well-built, he would mara easily pass for an army officer than surgeon apothecary to His

Majesty.
