Messrs. SETH W. FowLE & Co., Boston,
Having been much benefited by the use of DR..

add my testimony in favor of its great curative
powers.
Some three years since l was attacked with Il
severe Cough, soreness and irritation of the
Lungs. to which was added asthma in a severe
form. During the first year tired several of
the most popular medicihs OF the day but re-
ceivcd no real relief, and had almost despair

duced to try Dr. WIsrAR's BALsAM OF WILD
CHERRY, which very soon relieved me- My
cough became loose, the soreness and irrta-

to mend. continued its use. and few bottles
restored me to better health than ever hoped

Dr. Dodge's Practice is mostly diseases OF a
Chronic nature, aud cases given up as incurabe.
his treatment is peculiar to himself although there
have been men in all ages who have bad the same
Magnetic Power over the diseases of the body and
mind Some call it the "GIFT OF HEALING" yet
few have possessed it to such extent over nearly
all diseases and PERSONS. 1t is lie and vitality
passed from strong healthy body TO a weak one,
that restores the lost or UNEQUAL circulation of The
vital or nervous fluid. So powerful is this influence
that persons who have Tor many years suffered from
diseases which have been pronounced incurable,
10 whom medicine has been administered with no
good effect have been restored to health in an in
credible short space of time. 1t will not restore
lost member of the body, or perform other mpossi-
bties, but it will always relieve pain, from what
ever cause. The praatice is blsed upon the most
strict of sciences there is nothing miracu-
ous or supernatural about it; it is in harmonv with
all natlral laws. Many eminent physicians of other
practices not only acknowledge this power, but re-
ceve the treatment for themselves and families as
well as advise it to their patients.
By this treatment il takes but few minutes for
inyeterate cases OF almost any durable Chronic dis
ease; and so sure is the effect that but few diseases
require second treatment, except Deafness, BroS-
en- Bones, DislocatIon, Bad Curvature OF the Spine
and Suppurating Tumors.
The diseases which yield most readily to the cura-
tive agency OF this method, practiced by us, are
Dyspepsia, Constipation, Asthma, Angina Pectoris,
Chlorosis, Loss OF Voice, rheumatism, Rheumatic
Glut, Liver disease, al kinds of Sexual Weakness,
Diabetes, Headache, Nervous Irritation of the Brain,
Bronchitis Catarrh, Diseases of the Heart Eruptve
Diseases, Convulsions, Hystera, Neuralgia, Thrush,
Congestion OF Spleen, Irritation of Stomach, Dseas-
es OF Kidneys, liberation and displacement OF the

bilty: Weak Spine, Nervous Depression, Difficult

How to Fit Spectacles.

In all the recent works on The eye, the subject of
accommodation, or the fitting of glasses, receives
the largest share of attention. Considering its ex-
tensve application it is regarded as the most valua-
BILE result derived from the recent advances in oph
thalmic science ~ .-
structure of the Eye.
The eye is simply an optical instru N ent, COM
posed of an object glass the cornea) an eye glass
1.-THE crystalline leas) and screen (the retina),
which is the organ OF vision. La order that any
object may be distinctly visible, it is necessary that
perfect pic tuIe of it should be formed upon the
rettnd, which is simply mirror covering the back
part of the eye The form and relative position of
the cornea and crystalline like the form and rela-
tive position of the object glass and eye glass of
telescope, may be mathematicaly determined and
their defects may be remedied by auxiliary lenses
or spectacles. These auxiliary lenses should cor
respond with mathematical accuracy to the defects
OF the lenses OF the eye and to insure absolute
ly perfect fit, it is only necessary to devise some
means OF measuring the relractve power Of the eye.
Near and Far Sight,
When in its normal condition, the eye is capable OF
seeing near well as remote objects. This is ac-
complished through tie accommodative action of
the crystalline lens which becomes more or less re-
iracve according 10 the direction in which rays OF
light enter the eye-whether parallel or divergent.
When preSb5opio comes on, which results in what
is called "farsghtedness," the crystalline becomes
incapable of uniting divergent rays upon the retna
and they would, if continued, meet at point be-
hind it. In the myopic or near.sighted eye the
elongation of tae ball and the high refractve power
of the coinea bring the rays to focus in front OF
the retna. Both of these results wholly ineom-
patible with distinct visiou which is only produced
when the rays are brought to focus on the retna.
The object sought then i'll fitting glasses, whether
for near or far sghtedness is to bring the rays to
focus exactly on the retna, without calling into ex-
ercise the accommodative acticn of the cry stalne
The Portland daily press., 1869-10-04

The results thus obtained represent the focus of
lens which, il placed upon the crystalline would
give to rays coming from the near point direction
as il coming from the far point. -.' .r
For determining the degree of presbyopia we rep
resent the assumed normal power when accom-
Undated for near objects by =, eight inches being
regarded as the starting point of presbyop, and the

Mr.. JOHNSON AS TAILOR.-At CleVe-

for refreshments. That means, on a south
ern railroad, that man is given that
amount of time wherein to make himself
sick trying to eat q dollars worth. 1t is
seldom that q fellow succeeds-that is, il
eating dollars worth of the fare set be-
fore him, but he can make himself sick
with but very little difficulty. A. j. wanted
to eat supper, and the crowd wanted him to
mount the depot steps and speak. He ex-
cused himself from making speech, but
shook hands with a few dozen. An old man
rushed through the crowd, grabbed A. j..
by the hand, and said to the assemblage !:
"Here, gentlemen, is the man who cut and
made my wedding coat. God bless him !
Here he is, right here!" and he shook
Andy's hand with great energy. Don't
you remember the time, Mr.. PresidentS"
"Certainly I do, Mr.. Davis remember
the coat, too; it was good ft," said A. j.,
laughing.
IA good fit! l reckon it was; it wss the
best coat I've had. Why, l don't believe
my wife would have had me if it hadn't
been for your fitting me up 30 nice. You
made the coat with your own hands, and
there never was better one"

thing" said A. j.
