my aunt consumptive, badly cross
eyed, with poor sight. She had spent

worse every day-indeed she was
given up to die with that dreadful
disease of the lungs. We were directs
ed through Kind Providence to you
by an ecqusiLta lance of Mr.. Ira
Smith, whose eyes you Strengthened
while in Macon; we were also
strongly urged to consult you by Mrs.

and sntfafinSs are quite gone; the
deathiy look has left her eyes; she
now sleeps ana eats well; her night

grove; that the two hundred and fifty
90 Lars which she paid you was not a
tenth part cf what she paid to those
