"A delightful little play, 'Dr. Hardhack's Prescription,' was given by the Junior Endeavor Society at Lyceum Hall, Worthington, Tuesday afternoon and evening. The audience was composed largely of children at the matinee, who were highly entertained, but no more so than the grown-ups in the evening. Dr. Hardhack was played by a lad of ten, who did an excellent piece of work. The other parts were all finely acted by children not much older. The play was directed by the author and made an entertainment long to be remembered and one too that netted a nice little sum for the Juniors' work."—Hampshire Gazette.
"One of the most charming little plays for children I ever have seen."—Mrs. G. J. Thomas, Chattanooga, Tenn.
"We used 'Dr. Hardhack's Prescription' for the Nature Study number in our annual program. It was given by the youngest pupils and was a delight to our audience. The play is complete in itself and perfectly charming, nevertheless I ventured to add an epilog. Knowing the story of 'Little Pussy Willow,' I adapted the gifts of the fairies ending with: 'Good night, dearie.' We wish to thank the author for all her helpful suggestions and for such a sweet play."—Caroline Reed Thompson, Head of Department of Expression, Arizona School of Music, Phenix, Ariz.
"A dear little play and we greatly enjoyed working it up. Our audience was very enthusiastic and we are being urged to repeat."—Miss A. H. Young, Wilton, N. H.
"We gave 'Dr. Hardhack's Prescription' as a Thanksgiving entertainment by our younger pupils, and everyone was charmed with it."—Emma Willard School, Troy, N. Y.
