TY - JOUR T1 - BEnjamin franklin calls on the president Y1 - 1939/11/11 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1939.02800450059044 JO - Journal of the American Medical Association SP - 1837 EP - 1837 VL - 113 IS - 20 N2 - In this little satire the author has conceived that Benjamin Franklin rose from his grave on the 149th anniversary of his death and went to visit the President. It is the kind of humor that appeared in the book called "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Benjamin Franklin comes in contact with the modern motor car, the shower bath, modern credit and debt, and the New Deal. It is interesting to find what the author thinks Benjamin Franklin would have said about spending oneself back into prosperity.
