cripples have thrown away their
crutches and are today singing not
the praise OF Schlatter, but of Bar
tholomew Corwin, n resident of
Kansas since 1858
Like Schlatter he will not receive IL
cent of money for his cures, and only
requests thai. ''Sec that you tell no
man of the wonders which have
been performed"
