Maurice Bize to Marcel Proust 10 April 1915
(Click on the link above to see this letter and its notes in the Corr-Proust digital edition, including all relevant hyperlinks.)
I the undersigned Doctor of Medicine certify that Monsieur Proust Marcel suffers from very violent, daily asthmatic attacks, along with generalized emphysema. These circumstances have resulted in cardial dilation. Further to which symptoms of renal failure have resulted in a very restricted lacto-vegetarian diet.
Depuis de longues années, Monsieur Proust est alité et dans un état de déchéance physique tellement prononcé qu'il lui sera impossible de se présenter devant le Conseil de révision.
Paris le 10 avril 1915[1]
Dr Bize.
