It was worth going miles to see. One person was heard to say : “I’Ve seen entertainments like this before, but I bave never seen deaf people and cripples fcenefitted and relieved so quickly as that Franklin treatment does; I don’t know how it’s done. But it does it, as I can see with my own eyes.” The name Franklin is heard everywhere, on the street corners, in the hotels and stores “Franklin” is the topic. From the laughing lips of the youth and from the contented tongues of matured years comes everywhere the magic word—Franklin. The good work that this gentleman's preparations have done in this city inspires all the confidence in him. All day long visitors come in streams to the Kurrie buildipg, upstairs over the Republican office, to tell what the remedies have done for them in the quiet of their home. Here is a sample of the expression of gratitude. “I heard of your medicine through a friend of mine who is taking it and is greatly benefitted and 1 thdhght I would try some of it.” Recent References.
