Premier III

For ten days Premier Edouard Herriot struggled against physical odds which in the end were too much for him.

Bright and early one morning la grippe took a firm hold on him, kept him in bed for several days. The malady was accompanied by a swelling of his right leg, which he was forbidden to move; but his general condition improved rapidly, mainly owing to his Herculean constitution.
