HARDWICK
Hardwick Receives Black Eye Due t
Some Erroneous Advertising.

Big glazing headlines on the first
page of the Burlington News of Tues
day evening would lead the general pub
lic to think that Hardwick was afflicted
with terrible plague, when it said that
there were $50 known cases in Hard
wick with numerous deaths as result.
Not the least bit of truth in that re-
port. DIR. Pache of the state board Of
health Of Burlington arrived in town
Monday right after dinner with Drs. De-
Cicco and Rabinovitch, two four-year
medical students, to act with the local
health board in relieving pressing sit
uation. A meeting was held at the Me-
mortal building, with these doctors, the
selectmen and other interested citizens,
and a system was devised whereby the
town clerks Office was made headquar-
tiers for calls for these doctors, so that
when a physician is needed call to
this Office will soon have one where de-
sired. One local doctor submitted list
of his patients to the meeting so that
! confiiction of visits in that way can
be eliminated The local health officer
at that meeting said that since the out
break Of the epidemic he should Judge
there had been about 200 cases reported
in Hardwick, East Hardwick, Stannard
Walden and Woodbury., so that the re-
port of $50 known cases in Hardwick is
entirely false, and not only that, but
with the aid these two young physicians
are giving the situation is fast being
taken care Of There have been eight
deaths to date owing to the epidemic,
but due more to the fact that it was
impossible to secure physicians and to
get proper nursing for the patients. DR.
Pache was here again Wednesday noon
and expressed himself as satisfied the
way things are working out and that it
was too bad that there could not be per-
feet harmony in the local situation
While Morrisville has put an embargo
on several towns from coming to that
town, there are many cases in Morris
Vile and surrounding vicinity, accord
ing to reputable physician from there
Hardwick can take care Of itself.
