Until September, 1878, hewas connected professionally with Mercy Hospital, Chicago, and then began private practice at Utica, Dane Co., Wis., continuing thus from 1878 to 1887. There had been inherited a taste for manufacture which now for a few years asserted itself. Relinquishing his practice, Dr.Burdick began at Milwaukee the manufacture of steel elastic nuts forbolts, a device that has been widely introduced among the leading railroads of the country, East and West, and especially in the Northwest, their advantages in the great saving of construction and maintenance of track commending general use. For six years he continued actively engaged in this manufacture, but professional life called him back. He retains his stock in the National Elastic Nut Co., of Milwaukee, but in 1893, here-entered the profession of medicine, locating at Milton, where he has ever since enjoyed a lucrative and growing practice.

By this marriage Dr. Burdick has two children, William Stillman and Ruth Evelyn. Dr. and Mrs. Burdick are members ofthe Seventh-day Baptist Church at Milton. Politically he has always been a Republican. For the past four years he has been executive officer of the Milton Board of Health. He is also a trustee of Milton College.
