Rochester Union and Advertiser.
Our reporter was very much struck with
conversation between two vel known
citizens, short time ago.

glasses"
| "Yes, yes, am perfect slave to nv
goggles. 1t is hard for me to understand
why ones eyesight fails when all other
faculties appear to be in good condition.
Even the young appear to lose their eye
sight"
| II question very much the theory and
the old mott, n that poor light, fine print,
ETC., is responsible for it,
ut is we'll you may. If you consult an
oculst for eye treatment, you will fiud he
is almost sure to analyze the fluids passed
before he will commence treatment: 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 nric acid from the system"
| "HOw is that?''
II do not know. He claimed that failing
eye-sight was one of the most prominent
symptoms of advanced kidney and Bright's
disease"
Becoming more interested, our reporter
thought ne would carry investigations still
| further, and called upon an institution
where several prominent physicians are
employed, and asked the question
| "Why il 1t that uric acid or kidney
poison affects the eyess"
One Of them answered, "It docs not sf-
feet the eyes any more than any other
organ. 1t il one Of the symptoms Of kid
ney disease. The system becomes saturated
with uric acid, and, az a result, the weak

the lungs, heart, brain or any other organ:

general debility, or premature old age,
when in reality it is but the effect of uric

gradually consuming the patient It is for
this reason our remedy cures so many per-
sons OF what are ordinarily called diseases,
which In fact are only symptoms. We cure
the cause and the cause cures the effect'
Then you cure blindness, 90 yous"
81 will say yes, if you wish to put it as
broad as that, and yet we are not entitled
to the credit. When we restore the kidneys
to health, they in turn restore the falling
eye-sight. Our remedy restores the kid
neys to healthy action, and they cause
the cure, and so it is with many of the dis
eases that we cure, which in reality are

one eye, and the other was rapidly failing.

w. A. Bargy, of this city, says "My lit

some two years since of inability to see, and
