NEVER let us be discouraged with
ourselves. 1t is not when we are con-
scious of our faults that we are the
most wicked; on the contrary, we are
less so. We see by a brighter light; and
let us remember for our consolation, that
we never perceive our sins till we be-
gin to cure them.

Dear Doctor:-Before leaving for the
east wish to express my appreciation
or your treatment of complicated case
of the eyes. / have tried for several
years to get far-seeing glasses, and l
mad concluded that could get none
that would be of any benefit to me. But
after | saw the wonderful benefit of
your system, take pleasure in saying
that the glasses furnished by you have
restored my vision both for reading and
far-seeing to the same condition as in
my boyhood. resolved to have you
furnish me glasses after witnessed
your system to beautiful young lady
Of sixteen years, from Summit County,
afflicted with complicated condition
of the eyesight. She told me she had
never been able to distinguish ones
face at distance of six feet. With
DR.. Prentice's glasses she could see as
well as any one. As she looked up and
down the street, and for the first time
in her life saw the distant mountain
tops, she was greatly delighted, and
inquired with childish simplicity, do
other people see this way?" 1t seemed
that new world was opened to her
view, as novel and beautiful as "Eden's
rosy bowers" appeared to our first
parents.
Yours truls,

SATISFIED AT LAST.

George A. Smith, of Salt Lake City
is young man well and favorably
known throughout Utah. He has been
troubled with bad case of cross-eyes
all his life. Several years ago he had
an operation performed by an oculist,
but it was not successful and did no
good, consequently his faith was very
much shaken about its ever being made
straight. But at the Continental Hotel
on Monday of this week, DR.. Prentice
made it straight in less than half a
minute. Mr.. Smith is delighted with
the result and his many friends
astonished. Mr. Smith said it caused
him practically no pain.

WASHINGTON, JUNE 2, 1888.

ANorHER DAY was consumed yester
day with but the first five lines of
the Mills Tariff bill disposed of. Lines
six and seven were debated for fully
three hours, and towards o'clock,
when Mr.. Mills made the motion to
ciese debate and all amendments in
ten minutes, the Republicans opposed
the proposition successfully, the hour
of adjournment arriving before the
question was disposed of, and the bill
going over until to-day. The sixth
and seventh lines, over which the
House expended so much talk to so
little purpose, are these: Timber,
hewn and sawed, and timber used for
spars and in building wharves" stun
bling blocks, as it were, which by the
bill are exempt from duty.
