Has Fainting Spells but Recovers Quickly
Mrs. McKinley Has a Recurrence of Old Attacks—Dr. Rixey Not
Alarmed—
Says Her Condition Is Improving Daily.
Friday Mrs. McKinley had several fainting spells,
which she has been free from for some time, though they used to be a daily occurrence.
Dr. Rixey is not greatly alarmed, however, by these symptoms. He states that
Mrs. McKinle[y] is in a better physical condition at present than she was before
her illness at the time of the trip across the country to the coast, though
she is not as strong as she was before the assassination at Buffalo. The splendid
weather since the funeral has been of great value to Dr. Rixey’s plan of treatment.
The daily carriage drives tires [sic] Mrs. McKinley out[,] gives her a better
appetite and induces sleep. As long as clear weather continues this plan will
be carried out and it is the opinion of those in the household that if she is
enabled to take the drives for a month longer her condition will be so much
stronger that no fears of her collapse will be entertained.
It is believed that Dr. Rixey will be in Canton
until the middle of next week. He will probably leave for Washington with Secretary
Cortelyou, whose work here will practically be finished at that time.
