In consequence of the prevalence of
the grip in Augusta and the incon-
vience caused in some Of the manufac-
turtles by the illness Of many employees,
a physician has been employed by the
management of some of the places to
make regular visits for the purpose
Of treating those employees who re-
quire il, namely the Eaton shoe fac
tory on Gage street, where DR.. r. H.
Stubs has been regular visitor each
noon for several days past and is still
making his daily calls. 1t is said that
it was rot unusual last week to have
40 or 30 employees each day, which
puts the work back, but it is believed
that the timely treatment of the ply
sician has prevented and also made
lighter many cases. And speaking OF
the grip, not only has it made the
physicians busy. but also the nurses.
At John Coughlih's pharmacy is kept
a registry of the graduate nurses of
the city, and to give one an idea of
whether or not these most valuable
assistants to the physician are busy
it may be said that while two weeks
ago there were probably 20 nurses on
the waiting list there was not one last
Saturday morning to be had.
