Mr. Harding Will Be Moved Back Home. Final Consultation of Doctors This Morning Agreed It Was Measles - He Has Been Vaccinated.

 

Mr. Harding, who was taken to the pest house Tuesday after his case had been diagnosed as smallpox, was moved back to his home yesterday afternoon. Wednesday the doctors claimed that his case was measles. Yesterday that his case was measles. Today, other doctors confirmed this diagnosis. As soon as his case was pronounced measles, he was removed from the room where Mr. Lamb was, was carefully vaccinated and every precaution taken.

 

His family have been removed from his house so that Mr. Harding will be cared for at home without danger of conveying smallpox to his family if he should contract this disease.

 

Mr. Lamb, whom Dr. Clark first pronounced to have smallpox, has a well developed case, but is getting along very well.
