plic alton Is in from q Reg
uiar Physician.

Dr. e. r. Larkins Is receiving let
ters of inquiry from all parts Of the
country in regard to Neuropathy, his
new system of curing diseases. Pa
tients come from every direction, and
many of them are greatly surprised at
the results of the treatment. They g1
into the Office in pain, and diseased in
various ways, and often feel the results
of the treatment in few minutes. One
lady went into the Office Thursday
morning suffering from a severe pain
in the head. In a few minutes the
pain was all gone. This cure was ef-
fected by gentle pressure upon four
different nerves of the head. 1t may
be stated that nineteen cases out oi
twenty of similar kind are cured al
most instantly.
1t is the most permanent cure ever
used and DR.. Larkins now wishes to
teach others this system, in order to
treat all the patients that are suffering
from supposed incurable diseases. He
already has an application from Doctor
DeWayne Peugh, of Missouri, who
wishes to become student and to use
Neuropathy In connection with his
regular practice. But DR.. Larkine
wishes to teach all who desire to
learn whether they be physicians OF
not. To all who apply soon a great
reduction in price will be made and
they will be taught and given a diplo.
ma in Neuropathy. 1t offers better in.
ducements than many other profes.

HAD TWO WIVES LIVING.
William Wright, a Citizen Of Whites
town, Who Died Recently.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LEBANON, Ind, Feb. A sensation has
been caused over the discovery tina the
of Whitestown, had two wives living. The
discovery was made only a few days ago,
and since then the two women have met
and settled in an amicable manner the mat
ter of the division of the small estate left
by Mr.. Wright.
Mr.. Wright married Sarah A.. Waits at
to Chicago. Six children were born to
this union. In 1875, Mrs. Wright says, her
husband deserted her. since which time
she has lived in Chicago. She still has her
marriage license and says no divorce had
ever been secured by either. In 1876 Mr..
Wright married Mrs, Elizabeth ]. Bran
don, of WhiteStown. No children were
born to this second marriage. Mrs. Wright
No. i says her husband visited her every
year up to the time of the worlds fair in
Chicago. since which time she had re-
ceived no news from him.
just before his death, which occurred
in December, Mr.. Wright requested his sec
ond wife to send his gold watch after his
death TO his son Charles T., whose address,
he said. would be found among his papers.
Mrs. Wright carried out his Instructions.
and the boy consulted with his mother and
thus the discovery that Mr.. Wright had
two wives living was made. Neither of the
women up to that time knew of the exist
ence of the other. Wife No. 2 knew that
Mr.. Wright had been married before and
that he had several children, but thought
the first wife was dead.
Mr.. Wright left a $500 life insurance pol
Icy in the knights of Honor, made payable
to his second wife. When wife No. l made
met and a division of the $500 was agreed
upon.
