Office by the person who has been restored 10 sight
BY Dr.. Williams the Oculist, since his arrival IN
this city.

cities to solicit the aid OF all the 0culisls, Of note
In either and all the above mentioned cities

in relief, took from me whatever money could
raise, but was certainly no better for all their
services, my sufferings and sacrifices of more tn
two thou sand dollars During last August, / was
led tor the first time to DR.. j. Williams, the occu-
list, Chen at Philadelphia in a state of almost
total bllndacss! could not see my hand before
me; within two or three days could distinguish
almost every object, which sight then restored to
me by Dr. Will mss remedies has continued 10
this day. Ido.d declare it 10 be my opinion that if
had MOT been obliged to leave tire city for Bai-
morcs should have been perfectly cured. also
swear thai WIS present when great many 9TH
ers were sorestored to sight without EXPENSE by
the same means, with myself, and their gratitude
appeared TO be equal TO my own.
These declarations are my,own, written by my
wiie's friend, the Rev. Reubsn Madiron, Baptist
Minister; all inquiries made at No. $50 Rour;on
street, New Orleans. T4 ~ 49,.
Dated 10Th April 1887
In ADDITION TO the foregoing, it is my duty 10
declare also upon oath, that my sight was bet err
when arriveni in this city than ii was yesterday
morning, when DR.. WILLIAMS again very kindly
again received me Ills patient. The actis, /
was persuaded by Dr.. of New Orleans to pay
him fifty dollars, for which he promise to restore
me to sight, but my eyes were worse instead Of
better, and l was rejoiccd at the opportunity Of
again being dressed by Dr. Williams's remedies,
My eyes are already improved. He hopes shall
receive still greater benefit.
