Duke's doctor denies restraint comments

July 30, 1923

Dr. Cromie, the Duke of Orleans' personal physician, has denied reports that his patient has been under restraint. In an interview with several newspapers, and reported by the New York Times, Dr. Cromie says that is is "absolutely absurd" that his patient has been under any sort of restraint. "Except for the ordinary servants in the house, there are simply myself and the nurses."
He said the duke of Orleans contracted malaria and dysentery during his last visit to Africa.
