"Seven months ago.jf said Cpfral,."!-'retired Cpfral,."!-'retired temporarily fronr active political politi-cal services on account of my health. I have carefully refrained, therefore, from all comment or action, which might embarrass my government My only knowledge of the general situation situa-tion is from what I read In the newspapers." news-papers." The vice president appeared fatigued fati-gued but does not seem like a man suffering from a serious ailment. In fact, he discussed his physical condition con-dition in a humorous vein, saying that he really did not know what 'he had.' One doctor had told him that his trouble is "bile," another said that he had nervous prostration as a result of over work, while a third thought "something else" was the matter with him. "As the home doctors have disagreed," dis-agreed," he continued, "I have como to Europe for come advice and hope that before I return I may learn exactly ex-actly what the troublo Is." The length of his stay abroad was quite problematical, he said. He thought it likely that he would later visit Carlsbad or Vichy. |
