The Czarowitch Ill.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 23, 1912:
Accident Oct. 15, Apparently Unimportant, Develops Serious Results.
    ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 22.— The Czarowitch Alexis is lying rather seriously ill at the imperial hunting lodge of Spala, Russian Poland, as the result of an accident on Oct. 15. He then suffered an injury in the left groin which caused no anxiety until last Sunday evening, when his temperature rose to 103.6. His temperature decreased somewhat yesterday, but rose again last night to 102.9.
    Several Court physicians are in attendance on the young Prince. An official bulletin issued this morning said:
    Last night his Imperial Highness the Crown Prince complained of pain, which, however, disappeared before morning. The patient spent a quieter night. This morning his temperature was 102.4 and his pulse 138.
    The Prince suffered no pain to-day and slept much of the time. His temperature was 103.1; pulse, 144.
    The Czarowitch is 8 years old, having been born on July 30, 1904.
