MR. WILSON RECOVERING AT HOME
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On March 25, 1921, former President Woodrow Wilson suffered an "acute attack of indigestion"* at his home on S Street here in the Nation's Capital.
Although "recovering satisfactory" throughout the afternoon, Admiral Cary T. Grayson**, the President's physician, said it would be "another day or two before Mr. Wilson could be considered as entirely recovered."
The President was treated at his home by Dr. Sterling Ruffin who applied remedies that had been successful with Mr. Wilson in the past.
