"No. we can’t buy anything from as long as there is an epidemic of dlptherla In Woodbine--It Is a precaution and furtherdon't want you to come into this town until the epidemic is over.” The condition had been greatly exaggerated. Dr. A N. Frledland. Woodbine physician, a man who la thoroughly acquainted with health conditions In the Borough.

Th matter has been

aggerated-"
