head lines i'm the Kansas City Times
of yesterday, under date of Ard
more, |. T. The utterances of the
author there given has caused our
people to rise in righteous indigna-
tiOn against such calumny as is
therein stated. Our citizens feel
highly incensed at the unjust re
port and our physicians regard it
as an open insult to them. The
ARDMoREITE can not reprint such
stuff in its columns. Instead, how
ever, that true statement of the
case should be known, which our
people demand. we herewith APP
pend the opinions of our physi
clans in the matter. Being called
upon by the ARDMoREITE for a
statement, replies were given as
follows;
DIR. FolsOm-The report in the
Kansas City Times is false. 1t will
injure ArdmOre a great deal and it
will take some time to overcome
such a report Other papers be-
lieving such a report will copy aud
the injury to us still goes on.
DIR. Bogie-The reporter for the
Kansas City Times must be a CO.
caine fiend and was laboring under
halluciation when he sent in such
stuff. There is absolutely no
foundation for such a story.
DIR. Gardner-Being absent from
the city l do not know anything Of
smallpox here, neither have l
learned of any consultation Of ply
sicians regarding same since my
return.
DIR. BOOTH believe l am the
only physician who has attended
Miss Mamie Pulliam. The lady
has never had any symptoms OF
smallpox nor have | ever consult
ed with any other physician about
the case.
/ DIR. Drlaney-I have yet to learn
; of any consultation of Ardmore
: physicians concerning small pox
here. There has been none.
DIR A. A. SMITH do not know
a.; of any smallpox in the city. There
has been no consultation among
physicians here regarding any such
disease.
Dr. Hardy-There is not a word
of truththat we have smallpox in
l ArdmOre, nor have we had any
consultation among physicians of q
: small pox nature.
e DIR. Won Keller-I have no know.
ledge of any smallpox or consul
tation of physicians about such &
! thing.
DIR. Hobby-There is no truth il
such report. No consultation hai
ever been held here to my knowl
Z edge.
e DIR. j. w. Smith-No truth il
y it. My first information was OBJ
U tanned from a paper. There hai
a been no consultation by doctors
i that | know Of.
u DR.. S. S. CARR have not hear II
' of any consultation, if there ha'
u been one / would probably hav,
} been called, as / have had consid
erable experience in treating smal
