Dr.. Hugo Summa, Of St. Louis, has
had a summer home in the valley for
many years. The following is taken
from the st. Louis Times OF January
I'd: "Dr. Hugo Summa, one Of the
leading diagnosticians in the country
and one Of the best known physicians
in st. Louis, will leave with his wife
for Santa Monica, CAL, Friday, to
recuperate from a serious illness
which confined him to his home, 1888
Washington boulevard, almost con-
stantly during the last six months.
DR.. Summa suffered q nervous break
down from overwork last July. Since
his breakdown DR.. Summa has been
unable to attend to all his profession
al duties and had for some time cou-
templated a trip to California to e
gain his health. He will spend several
months in California, according to his
present plans, much OF 1t in San
Diego. Dr.. Summa was born in Ger
many and educated there. He was
graduated from the University Of
Munich and began the practice OF
medicine at Lauf, Bavaria. He has
been a p~racticing physician in st.
Louis for % years" We hope the
DR.. will return home fully restored to
health.
