Her family physician did all he could, but nterse-
ly painful inflammation arose, which, by SYM sym;
pathy threatened the loss of the other eye. Total
blindness to woman having the care Of house
hold is an irretrievable calamity. In this strait,
Mrs. s. applied to the we'll known and skillful
surgeon, DR.. Blank, who removed the injured eye
by a very successful operation, setting aside all
danger Of further harm to the sight Of the other
eye. But owing to the pain and mental distress,
her system needed a tonic and restorative modl,
