glasses"
"Yes, yes, l am perfect slave to
my goggles. 1t is hard for me to un-
derstand why ones ryesight fails when
all other faculties appear to be in good
condition. Even the young appear to
lose their eyesight."
"I question very much the theory
and the old notion that poor light,
fine print, etc, is responsible for it."
at is well you may. II you consult
an oculist for eye treatment, you will
find he is almost cure to ana'yze the
fluids passed before he will commence
treatments one once told me that
over half OF the failing eyesight was
attributable to disease OF the kidneys,
because of their inability to expel the
uric acid from the system"
"How is that?"
~ do not know. He exclaimed
that failing eye-sight was one OF the
most prominent symptoms of advanc-
ed kidney and Bright's disease" d"
Becoming more interested, our re-
porter thought he would carry inves
legations still further, and called upon
an institution where several prominent
physicians are employed, and asked
the question
why is it that uric acid or kidney
poison effects the eyes'"
One of them answered, at does not
affect the eyes any more than any 9th.
er organ. 1t is one OF the symptoms
of kidney disease. The system often
becomes saturated with uric acid, and
as a result, the weakest organ is heart,
brain or any other organ it generally
affects many Of the other organs, and
the person 80 affected may call it gen.
ersl debility, or premature old age.
when in reality it is but the effect OF
uric acid, continually poisoning the
system, gradually consuming the pa
tient. 1t is for this reason our rene
dy cures so many persons of what are
ordinarily called diseases, which in
fact are only symptoms. We cure
the cause and the causes cures the eff
feet"
"Then you cure blindness, do you?'
II will say yes, II you wish to put it
as broad as that, and yet we are not
entitled to the credit When we re
store the kidneys to health, they in
turn restore the failing eyeslght
Our remedy restores the kidneys to u
healthy action, and they cause the
cure, and so it is with many of the dis
eases that we cure, which in reality
are but symptoms. For instance, N.
s. Sparks OF Rochester says IL bad

to restore my eye-sight, but it has done

w. A. BArxy, OF this city, says: "My

Mrs, Emma A. Densmore, Washing
ton, D. G. had her eye-sight suddenl,
fail her, so she was unable, AS she says
to read even the largest print, or rec
ognize friends on the street. After
few botttes Of Warmers safe cure
her eye-sight began toreturn, and con
tinuing its use, she was completely re

Uric acid has special liking for tn
optic nerve, and it is no uncommon
