On that night. 75 years ago, Alexander Graham Bell's dream became a reality when the first intelligible sentence ever to be transmitted by telephone was uttered by Belt, and heard by his assistant in another room. PHYSIO THERAPY COLONIC IRRIGATIONS The Stricklin Osteopathic Clinic was opened to the public of Logan and Cache Valley, March 8, 1951, and in the short time it has been in operation has been exceptionally well received by the residents of this section of Utah. It has provn to be, without doubt, one of the most valuable acquisitions to Logan's professional structure made in recent years, and fills a definite need. Dr. Fred Stricklin was graduated in 1942 from the original Osteopathic college established in the nation, Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery, located at Kirksville, Missouri. Following graduation he entered private practice In New Mexico. Shortly after establishing his practice in New Mexico he was called to the U. S. Navy medical corps. At the cessation of service with the navy, Dr. Fred Stricklin became associated with the Laughlin Hospital, Kirksville, Missouri, as resident physician. Here he took an advanced course in and obstetrics. Mrs. Stricklin is a graduate from Kirksville Teachers College and is receptionist and general assistant at the Clinic in Logan. During World War II Mrs. Stricklin served with the Missouri Baptist Hospital and was identified at the head of several Red Cross uints. Just four years later the telephone came to Utah. The first exchange was opened at Ogden in September, 1880, and additional exchanges were opened in April of the following year at Salt Lake City and in September at Park City. Exchanges were in service at Logan and Provo in 1883. X-r- In a very real sense, the telephone industry and Utah have grown up together.
