SPONTANEOUS PNEUMOTHORAX KEEPS BRODY IN INFIRMARY

Michael J. Brody '42, whose presence in Stillman Infirmary for the last week has caused considerable conjecture among Boston papers is suffering from spontaneous pneumothorax, according to Arlie V. Bock, Henry K. Oliver Professor of Hygiene.

Contrary to reports published in last evening's Record, Brody is not ailing with an "unknown malady." His collapsed lung is a common ailment. Dr. Rock said for there are six or eight cases of it a year at the infirmary. Neither was it caused, as was implied in last night's report, by Brody's working in a steel mill, since many are stricken who have had no connection with such strenuous work.

Brody will remain in Stillman for two or three more weeks, while his lung is being expanded, after which none of his much publicized athletic potentialities will be impaired according to Bock.
