VATICAN CITY: Pope John Paul II is getting nutrition from a feeding tube through the nose, the Vatican said on Wednesday, shortly after the frail pontiff appeared at his window in St. Peter's Square and unsuccessfully tried to speak. Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls also said the pontiff was continuing a ``slow and progressive'' convalescence. The tube was intended to ``improve the calorie intake and favour an effective recovery of strength,'' the spokesman said in a statement. He issued the first medical report on the Pope since March 10 — three days before he was discharged from the hospital — and appeared indirectly to deny media reports saying the Pope might be hospitalised again. The appearance drew cheers from thousands of pilgrims. Some of the faithful had tears in their eyes.
