| the eyes were turned inward toward the
nose. They had been in that condition
since he was mere child. nr. Hartman
operated on them In his usual skillful
manner, and now they are as straight AS
anyone's eyes.
Mrs. 3. Hemlnway, of Cook avenue.
near woodward avenue toll gate, Detroit,
Mich, has had quite an experience with
cross eyes. When quite small girl her
right eyeball turned inward toward the
inward corner Of the eye, which gave her
very nnprepossessing appearance. Her
parents were exceedingly anxious to have
the deformity corrected, and took great
pains 10 inquire for the best Ocuist in
America. Not being able TO judge of
qualifications themselves they submitted
the matter TO their family physician, who.
after careful, inquiry, told them that DR..
- was unquesto nably as good, If not
the best in the country (She gave the
name OF the oculst to DR.. Hartman, nut
as he makes il a point never to reflect on
the professional character or qualifications
of any physician ar surgeon unless first
assailed by them. he does not not give the
name) This celebrated oculst operated
on her eye, but the operation proved TO be
an utter failure, as it turned the eyebal,
outward toward the outer corner of the
eye, where it remained as firmly as If she
had been born So After time she re-
turned to him to have it corrected. He
told herb was sorry, bu. that it was inn
possible 10 ever make IL any better, and
thus it remained for more than twenty
years.
A few weeks ago she came 10 DR.. Hart
man, who, alter an examination, told her
that he could make it as perfect as any
eye by performing double operation.
This was an agreeable surprise to Mrs
Hemlnway, and she had HIM operate at
once, and now she has as perfect pair OF
eyes as any lady could desire. No one
could be more grateful than she for what
DR.. Hartman has done for her.
Miss Florence Robinson, of Bellevue,
Mich, had cross eyes from infancy
About one year ago she had them opcrat-
ed upon 10y one of the best Ocuists in
IN Detroit, but the operation was unfortu-
nately failure, as the eyes were very far
from straight. She was greatly mortified
at the failure, and was not satisfied TO let
them go so If there was any possible
chance of having the deformlty corrected.
She called on DR.. Hartman at the Plank
inton Hotel in Detroit, who made them
perfectly straight by performing an opera
ton Of his own, which requires great care
and skill. The operation was grand sue
cess, and, TO use her own language.
nothing could be more satisfactory.
Mr.. Edward Vouvilla, of Mead, Mich,
whose eyes had been crossed for many
years, though calling on DR. Hartman, he
seemed 10 be very much afraid to have his
eyes operated upon, but finally he con-
cluded TO have 1t done, and In half
minute they were made perfectly straight.
He returned home the same day, and
nothing was heard from him until to-day,
when Mrs. Maria Crandall. of Mead, Mich
came to DR.. Hartman to have pterygium
removed from her eye, which he did in
minute. When taking her leave she mad
vertentlv remarked that she had seen Mr..
Vouvilla day or so ago to ascertain what
was the result of Or. Hartman's operation
on his eye, and she found it was so perfect
and satisfactory in every particular that
she at once decided to call upon the doctor
and have her ewes operated upon also.
Mr.. James Mcbride, of Midland, Mich,
had cross eyes from infancy, which great
ly married his appearance and more or less
affected his sight. He called on DR.. Hart
man while practicing in Detroit to ascer-
tain If anything could be done to improve
them. Dr. Hartman informed him that
his eyes could be made straight without
the least doubt, after which Mr. Mcbride
was anxious TO have him proceed at once,
which he cheerfully did, and in less than
half a minute the eyes were as straight as
any other persons. Tie Improvement
which he made in the young mans appear
ance was really surprising. He said he
would not have his eycs,ias they were
before if he had to go thousand miles to
sec DR.. Hartman.
Mr.. John Riddle, of 209 Fourth street,
Detroit, whose eyes had been crossed for
more than twenty-three years. called on
DR.. Hartman while in Detroit simply to
consult him, as he had often consulted
Oculists, but he had never had sufficient
confidence inspired to have them operated
upon. But as soon as DR.. Hartman told
him that he could certainly make his eyes
straight he had implicit confidence in
what he said, and had him operate on them
at once. His eyes are now perfectly
straight, and a more genuinely grateful
and happy man cannot be found any.

Mr.. r. G. Phillips. of Flint, Mich, had
divergent strabismus, that is, his eyes were
turned outward instead of inward DR..
Hartman Strengthened them in less than
one minute.
