Sawyer, the President's physician, said late today after the formal consultation of the five attending phy|b sicians. Dr. Sawyer stated that Mrs. Harding was well, despite the strain. "Since we have our toxin well under control, I- feel safe in saying that we have passed the peak load of trouble. I don't want to he too emphatic about it because we always face complications.
