Reference

[...] A former physician of His Holiness imprudently, or rather carelessly, as it is now thought, put an issue in his leg; as is very common with an old person t turned into an ulcer; this little ulcer gives the Pope much pain at times; [...] In a few weeks when the warm weather sets in, His Holiness will be "all right" again. [...] AT mass, the last few days, he has celebrated without leaning against the altar, as he had to do in the first part of the attack of rheumatism, showing that he is better. [...] One of the favorite dinner dishes of the Pope is the delightful Roman "fritto dorato," a dish composed of calves of lamb's brains, calves' liver, artichokes sliced fine, [...] Holy Father is in excellent spirits.
