From, the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Sept 2stk, 1880
"Very seldom do we read of an actual
case OF recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that winch
was Monday investigated by a Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
tiers persons talking TO their friends of a
cure, seemingly little short of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother n the young man, his pastor
and other persons wei known in the COM
munity:
"William Lincoln c Irtis is the name
of the young man in question. He is now
employed at ii. X. Porter & Co.'s loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, Of a cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into q
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features OF which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
'He gradua ly grew worse, and in few
months the elbow md knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the cheek bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out of all resem-
blance to his former SELF The pain in all
his joints became intense fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the sem blance of
skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his sufferings were of
such al indiscribable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
better If he was called away. At this time
physicians well known in Pittsburgh informed

The young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, PzRuNA. In two
weeks quite change for the better, was per-
ceptioie. In six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and
strength the patient wa quite : well as he had
'ver been in his life. Nearly three weeks ago
he resumed work as machinist at his old place,
able TO perform as much labor as ever in his life
The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
hese facts, said: Indeed can not look upon
he cure much less than IS miracle. do not
hesitate in sounding the praise of PERUNA, and
n recommending it to all my friends.'"
The pastor of the church where the Young
nan attended Sabbath school was visited and
he readily confirmed the facts of the deformed
'oncs, the emaciated condition from disease,
nd OF the doctors having given him up. He
vas greatly surprised at his improved condition
aid he, "lt he had not spoken, would not
lave known him."

these glass limitations, but import ex-
clusively. American eyes are made
and sell at the same figure as foreign

a more natural appearance than any

and the blood vessels with gold. and,
when properly inserted, they will move

panion. OF course much depends upon
the condition of the socket and the
state of the muscles as left by the sur
geon.
..Our greatest trouble is the match
ing of eyes. The slightest difference in
tint is very appreciable, and when you
remember that no two persons eyes
are alike, you can imagine the difficult
ty we often have. Here is an eye be-
longing to an old gent in Germantown.
1t is a special eye, and is left here as
sample by which he can order new
ones. You see. eyes wear out. their
life being about year or little over,

has lasted a much longer time. One
gentleman, who was here this morning,
had worn his eye for five years, both
night and day. The salt and alkaline
solutions of the tear-ducts, however,
have an effect upon the surface of the
glass, and eventually roughen it, so that
a new eve is necessary. One of my
customers, lady, renews her eye about
every six months; here's her last one,

and how its colors are dimmed.
1T is quite an operation" the dealer
went Oh, "to properly select and tit an
eve, but when once you have succeeded

ience. Last month a gentleman came
to me for left eye. l fitted him up
and then was astonished to be soundly

through it. Hehad an idea that my
glass imitation was going to restore
life to his destroyed optic nerve, and he
told me he had been thus informed by

named, for June Sd:
Mast, Foos & Co., Springfield. O., report a
slight increase in their business tor 1884 over
that OF 1888. While some lines have fallen

to make up the loss. Prospects for trade"
they say, .are fully as good with US as they
were year ago. Our customers are con-
rracting for spring delivery as readily as
ever, and, since the settlement Of the politi-
cal question, are showing a much more
marked degree of confidence.
The Foos Manufacturing Company says:
sour business Tor 1884 thus iar shows a
large increase over 1888. The outlook fol
business in our line is very encouraging, and
our success in introducing our portable forges
grinding mills, etc, is beyond anything we
had anticipated"
