DR.. ). Il. Borgess., OF this place,
was called in consultation with DR..
Cloud, OF Masontown, and DR..
Richards. of Smitbfield, to the resi-
dence of Wm. Smith, who lives DO.
tween Fairchance and Smithfleld,
Pa, one day last week. The case
IN question being an aged sister of
Mr.. Smith who has been confined
to her bed for quite d while. After
the examination and brief argu-
ment, the other two doctors agreed
to the decision of DIR. Borgess.,
which was technical affection OF
the heart, with other complications.
The interested parties offered to
relieve DIR. Richards, the attending
physician, Of the case, and insisted
on DR.. Borgess. taking the case,
but owing 70 the distance (about
% miles) and bis large practice al
home, he could not accept IT. Some
of the Doctors enemies have cir
culstcd report to the effect that
be expected to leave his practice
here and 90 elsewhere in the near
future. We positively deny the
truth OF the report and declare il
false, as he never told any person
or even thought Of leaving as sue
cessfnl practice as he has now, il
ls apparent that this vile falsehood
originated from a source similar to
the report itself to injuie the Doc
tor. What won't dishonest com
petition attempt?
