Mr.. l.. J. H. Foster, of Crawford, Miss, was
totally blind for several years with cataract.
His eye was operated on by an eminent ocu-

fearful suffering his eye run out. The doctor
then said he did not believe it could be done
successfully under the existing conditions of
Mr.. Fosters system. But afterward DR.. Prem

tons and gave Mr.. Foster sight. Mr.. L. J. II

JUDGE CARTOONS LETTER.


DEAR DOCTOR:-Beforel leaving for the east
/ wish to 2express my appreciation of your
treatment of complicated case of the eyes. ]
have tried for several years to get far-seeing
glasses, and had concluded that could get
none that would be OF any benefit to me. But
after saw the wonderful benefit of your sys-
TEN, 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. l resolved to
have you furnish me glasses after l witnessed
your system to a beautiful young lady of six
teen years, from Summit county, afflicted
with a complicated condition of the eyesight.
She told me she had never been able to distin-
guish ones face at a distance of six feet. With
DR.. Prentices 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 top, she was greatly de-
lighted, ard inquired with childish mi

that a new world was opened-to her view, as
novel and beautiful as "Eden's rosy bowers"

not only from the city but from long distances

do him good he does it. Many persons who

DR.. Prentice, walking tee streets and reading
the new spapers! Give DR.. Prentice any
ground to work on and he perfects cure. n
all diseases of the head, throat and chest he
appears to be equally successful. His brother
physicians are forced to admit that man of
his cures are almost miraculous. His success
lies in the fact that re las had great deal OF
experience in r. european hospitals, uses the
finest surg cal instruments now used, and
avails himself of all the latest improvements
recorded in the leadingmedical and surgical
Journals of the day. Should he ever visit
Texas he will no doubt meet with well-merited

DR.. Prentlce's system of examining eyes,
(his own invention) has been introduced into
some of the largest hospitals of Europe, and
is endorsed and used by many of the leading
oculists of America. By this method eyes are
relieved of all strain, and fitted so perfectly,
that they regain much of their lost strength.

Prentice cured him in one treatment, and re-

A lady was very solicitous about her
health. Every trifle made her uneasy.

ately. The doctor was a skillful man,
and. consequently, had large prac-

to be SO often called away from his
other cases for nothing, and he re-
solved to take an opportunity of letting
the lady see this.
One day the lady observed red spot
upon her hand, and at once sent for the
doctor. He came, looked at the hand
and said: you did we'll to send for
me early"

it is noteworthy that the cat, though
even more familiar to all than either
of the aforementioned animals, is neg

ture The kitten is much beloved by
reason of its frivolous and gay nature.
It's propensity to amuse itself with any
light object or, in default of other
movables, its own llesting tail endears
it to all young persons, but there is an
unnatural gravity and air OF absorp-
ton in deep philosophical matters
about the mature cat which is forbid
ding, not to say awe-inspiring.
1t may be that its uncanny nature
has caused it to be associated with
witches. Certainly its habit OF
being out at all hours of the night
gives color to the suspicion that it Is
baleful beast. A cat acts as If it knew
that the disclosure of its secrets would
result in death to all its kind at the
hands of an enraged humanity. Now
there is something frank and OPEN
hearted about dog. He may bite an
enemy, but cat will scratch its dear

woman who is tired all through her

A mothers life should be restfu,

where peace and Joy can always be

guardian of the former and the tend

worked, wearied woman who knows no
rest. day nor night, such happiness is
out OF the question. Woman is sus-
ceptible creature; her surroundings
and occupations shape her destiny. BY
overwork her temper is soured, her
nervous system so racked that her
very nature is changed. even her affec-
ton for her loved ones is blunted, and
the burdens OF wifehood and mother
hood are SO heavy that their joys are
forgotten-and the mother finds no
time to exercise the holiest rights OF
