President's Son Found to Be Suffering With Infection in His Chest
Washington, Sept. 22.—(AP)—Dr. Joel T. Boone, the white house physician, said today a complete diagnosis of the illness of Herbert Hoover Jr., had disclosed a small tubercular infection in his chest.
The diseased area is small, Captain Boone said. Since the diagnosis has been made early, there is every reason to view the outcome of the president's son's illness optimistically.
The condition was held to be result of the general run down condition of the 28-year-old man.
The president's son was taken last week to the presidential lodge in Virginia and was believed to be suffering from an intestinal disorder.
Diagnosis was not completed, however, until this week.
Doctor Boone said early suspicions of a tubercular infection were confirmed.
He will stay at the mountain camp probably until frost comes and then will be brought to the white house for another complete examination.
Future treatment will be decided at that time.
Dr. Boone said the patient had gained weight and was in much better condition after the one week of rest and regular diet.
If properly treated, the physician said, he had every reason to believe full and complete recovery is likely but it will take months of rest and diet.
In the meantime, young Hoover has taken a leave of absence from his business connections as vice president of the Western Air Express.
