THE EYES.
AL Diseases of the Eye Cured with unfalI
Ing certainty.

DIR. W. A. SNYDER, Oculist.
nR. w. A. SNYDER'S mode of treating disea-
~ ses of the Eye differs materially from the
course commonly pursued by Physicians Be
ieving that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in Obstructed circulation or an impure
state of the system, his remedies will be pre-
scrlbed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may be afflicted and by equalizing
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor-
ing the general health of the patient, the Eyes
may be permanently cured without the use of
costic or any of the irritating applications in
general use. DR.. S. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill of all others without relief,
not to despair of cure without giving him
trial. for in all cases where vision is not entirely
lost, or the Eye not completely disorganlzed tnere
is still hope. ..z c.
