"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.
