outward entirely too far. giving her a much worse appearance than she had before tho operation. No oculist would un. dertake to correct this infinitely worse con dItion than that of ordinary cross eyes, so she called on pr. Hartman at the Peabody house to see whether he would undertake the case. He at once said he could correct the mistake made by the former Oculist by performing three distinct operations, one on the external rectus of each eye. and then bring the inter nal reetus muscle of the left eye further to the front. Miss Waite was only too glad to accept his proposition. so he performed three operations at one sitting. and that without the least pain and without chloroform. The re suit Is simply perfect; no one could have eyes more natural in every particular. The change in the young lady's appearance is quite won derful. and no surgeon could be more highly appreciated by anyone than Dr. Hartman is by Miss Waite for this display of his extraor. dinary skill.
 Mir. J. E. Barry, of Liberty Hill, Miss, was s-eyed since his youth. and lately he be. gan to suffer from pterygiums, feshy skin growing over both his eyes. which would soon have rendered him blind for life. pr. Hartman removed the ptery giums and then straight.
 
 declared the operation was not only without pain but was over before he had time 10 think about It. There is something very remarkable about the impression Dr. Hartman makes upon his patients, to say they are all highly pleased with him when they leave hIs office Is not expressing the hundredth part of their overw helming delight; so felt MT. Barry.
 HELENA. Ark, Jan. Si. lsS9 -Dr. Hartman Dear Sir-My eyes have been afflicted ever since was eight years old, and l am now thirty two. 1 have had dozens of doctors pre-. scribe for them, but without any relief. My eyelids got so thick 1t was impossible to raise them and the eyelashes turned in toward the eyeball so that they became very painful. I saw your article of being in Memphis and con cluded would try 1t once more. IL is now about six weeks that have been under your treatment and can now raise my eyelids as well as any body, and all my friends are sur. prised to sec them looking so we'll. l thank you very much for your skill and energy in your profession, and remain your friend,
 MRS. MATTY WINTERS
 Mrs. Cora Camps daughter, residence 5S5 Main street, Memphis, whose eyes had been crossed since child had Dr. Hartman straighten them, and the result is they are perfect. She will never be called crossey ed again.
 Mss Mamie Dalton, ll6 Main street, Mem phis. was terribly cross-eyed. Dr. Hartman strengthened them in less than half a min ute, without the least pain. She said: "If every cross-eyed girl or boy really knew what a trivial thing 1t is for the doctor to do, they would all knock at his door before ten o'clock tomorrow morning. l believe he could straighten an eye for you when you are asleep and not waken you"
 Joseph Hild's son, Sl Union street, Memphis, a manly lad of seven summers, had very crooked eyes. Dr. Hartman strengthened them. The change Tn the little fellows looks is wonderful
 MT. F. Nj. Stone, of Stoneville, Miss, whose eyes had been greatly crossed from childhood, called on Dr. Hartman at the Peabody hotel, and in few seconds they were perfectly straight, without the least pam. "Yes, you may use my name" he said; people ought to know what science can do for such imperfec- tiOns as applied by Dr. Hartman" To say Mir. stone was pleased is putting it mildly.
 Mrs NJ. J. Manly, 69 Second street, took her little daughter of but six summers to the doc tor to have her eyes straightened. which was done in less than a minute, to the great delight of her mother. Even the little lass herself beamed with pleasure.
 WI Keenan, merchant of Trenton. Tenn, has two daughters, both of whom were troubled with strabismus (cross eyes).. Dr. Hartman performed his momentary, and always successful. operation on the eyes of the eldest one and the younger ones he straightened with glasses. The treatment in both cases is a grand achievement, and the family is delighted with the result.
