the work of Prof. Samuels who has re-
Gently come to live among US, was well
illustrated yesterday.
A reporter for the Capital called at the
residence of Clarence Oakley, 8O7 Van
Buren, street, North Topeka. Mr. Oak
ley is employed with the Nave McCord
Grocery company. Some time since, he
began to have trouble with his eyes, His
right eye became liberated and was in a
best oculists $50 called that Topeka
affords and the story of his visit to him is
best told in his own words.
MY eye was not in such a bad condi-
ton when l went to the oculist," said IA r.
Oakley, land l believed that he could
cure me. Under his terrible treatment,
it became SO raw and so liberated that it
was not possible for any one to tell
whether the eye was there or not 1t was
like piece of raw liver. The oculist l
consulted was recommended by my fami-
ly physician, and 1 believed he would do
all for me that could be done. He told
me finally that it would be impossible to
cure me, and that the removal of my
right eye was necessary to save the sight
of the left one, which was already badly
affected. I consulted this oculist every
day for two weeks, and at each visit he
tortured me fearfully. 1 could have
stood the torture-so great that several
times I fainted-if any relief had sue
ceeded it, but no relief came. Ny eye
grew rapidly " orse.
"My wife and my mother at last be-
came Respondent and insisted that con-
suit Prof Samuels. This did two weeks
ago last Sunday. l can never cease to be
grateful for what this wonderful man
has done for me. Since the first consul
tation never a particle of pain have
felt. / sleep we'll at night, whereas be-
fore the only rest l secured was through
the influence of morphine. The ulcera-
ton is nearly gone from the right eye,
and the left one is as good as it ever was
l am gaining in strength every day. and
expect that, inside of a month, shall be
able to return to my work. II had not
been persuaded to visit Prof Samuels l
am certain that before this time l should
have been either totally blind or dead
How grateful l am to him you may
know"
Mr. Oakley's mother, Mrs, Hursh, cor
roborated every word her son said Her
! Joy at her sons recovery can be mag
ined.' Prof. Samuel's work in this case"
she said, "has been almost miraculous. l
never would have believed il if my own
eyes had not seen it."
Both Mr.. Oakley and his mother con-
demned in the strongest of terms the
treatment he received at the hands of the
Topeka oculist $50 called( 1t was out
rageous, they said, and proved conclu-
sively that the man knew nothing of his
calling.
i 1t is thus that Prof. Samuels goes about
doing good. This poor mans wife and
three small children, and his father and
mother, and lastly himself-all restored
to perfect happiness. Is not this record
to be proud off This case alone is
enough to arouse the good people of To-
peka against these butchers who pass for
oculists. They think nothing of the pa
tient-all they consider is getting the
money. "Don't do to others what you
would not have others do to you" is Prof
Samuels' motto, and he lives up to it to
the letter
Mr.. Oakley will be very glad to tell
this story to any one who will take the
trouble to call. "You can not make my
Recommendation of Prof Samuels too
strong" were the last words he said to
to the reporter.
Prof Samuels may be consulted at the
Hotel Throop every day.
