Remark 7

Tag 033E, permanent. Cite it as [Bourbaki, Tag 033E].

Théories spectrales, chapter IV, § 4. Opérateurs partiels

Let uu and vv be symmetric partial operators on E. If u+vu+v has dense domain, for example if uu or vv belong to L\mathscr{L} (E), then u+vu+v is symmetric. In general, the partial operator u+vu+v is not self-adjoint, even if uu and vv are (exercise 9 of IV, p. 347).

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
