Wednesday morning it was an
nounced by one of our physicians that
patient at the hotel was suffering
from varioloid. This created consider
able anxiety and the local Board of
Health assembled in Gov. Farnham's
office and after considering the situa-
ton and at the request of several bust
ness men telephoned to Dartmouth
Medical College for an expert in such
diseases. The reply was that there
was no such expert there, but George
Cook, M. d., of Concord, n. H.. was
recommended as the right person to
send for, as a man of experience in
those matters. He was summoned and
came on the $50 train. Drs. Cook,
Jones and Fletcher then gave the case
a thorough examination and later in
the evening DR.. Cook announced to
III Board that it was not case of
jail pOX or variolOid and that it
IF uld be safe to open the hotel to the
lie again. The whole community
a at once much relieved.
