A Rema~ able Cure,

The following is taken from an interview
by the Topeka Commonwealth of October
9Th, iSS3: Nv hen W Edison. OF the firm OF
Beck Il Edison, of Topeka. was sixteen years
old he had the measles very bad. They left
him with the sight of his right eye so seri-
ou>ly affected that lie has not been able to
see cut of that organ until about seven
months ego. when Prof. Samuels. the noted
opticisn, furnished him a pair of glasses
that filled the bill completely, aud enabled
him 10 see just a well out OF his heretofore
blind eye a. he can out of the good one.
Mr.. Edison himself never thought that such
thing could be done, because before meet
ing Prot. Samuel- he bad tried all {. differ
emf kinds OF glasses made. but could not
get anything that gave him any sort of re-
iet such wonderful cure as this is GER
tainly something remarkable. for Mr.. Eison

other been equally affected he would not
have been able to see At all. Doubtless

Professor samuels offers to those that are
suffering from weakness and defective sight
his improved crystal-glass spectacles, SUI
perior TO any other in use. They are con-
structed in accordance with the philosophy
of nature, adapted to the organs of sight
and perfectly natural to the eye. The ad.
vantages OF these specifies are
First-That they can be worn with per-
feet ease for any length of time at one sit
ting, giving astonishing clearIess of vision
by candle or other artificial light, and com
fort to the spectacle wearer hitherto un-
known.
SeconI-It requires professional guidance
even when good article is offered. Prof
Samuels not only has the best glasses that
can be found, but carefully examines the
eyes of 1he patient and gives indispensable
advice rs TO the proper selection Of them.
Third-these glasses are scientifically ad-
justed to every case of defective sight with
unerrng accuracy, whether arising from
age or strain, or premature decay, by Prof.
Samuels, on new and exact principle en-
tirely his own.
Prof. Samuels, to signaliZe himself from
the host OF pretenders in his profession will
submit for inspection copies OF testimonials
OF the most unquestionable responsibility
and talent of America, also a number Of
letters from well known people who have
used his glasses.
The Use OF any of the following names or
certificates without an actual possession Of
the same would be forgery, an Offense pun
i>hable by Imprisonment in the states pris-
