Blind Merchant Prince Now Being
Treated by a Doctor from India.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Charles Broadway
Rouss, the blind merchant prince, who has
offered 81 000,0 900 to the person who Will re-
store his sight, is being treated by DIR.
Guelph Norman, an Englishman The latter
has come from India for the purpose of
opening the eyes Of the merchant. lie is
not an M. d. according to Western medical
IDEAS but he is skilled in arts of optical
cures, which are almost as old as civiliza-
tion and the one now employed on Mr..
Rouss is said to date back as far as the
Vedas, the book CT sacred and heroic writ
ings, embracing the ancient philosophy of
the Aryans But Dr. Norman says he does
not care for money, and will cure Mr.. ROuSS
for the honor it will bring No medicine at
all is given internally. One consideration,
not at variance with modern sciences, IS
that the highest of sanitary conditions shall
be observed. Dieting, too, along the ordi-
nary lines, is also part of the treatment.
The pouring into the eyes once daily Of a
colorless liquid brought from lndla ana the
massaging of the eyelids and temples for
ten minutes every day the doctor him
self, and then afterward by any one else,
completes the treatment that Dr. Norman
has come so far to give.
It was reported q few days ago that t Mr. Mr.

Use to restore sight entirely within four
weeks is doubted by m1ny yet others be-
will Yesterday, afte~ the doctor had made
a test by holding rs hand in front Of the

CURING CONSUMPTION.
remarkable Success Said to Attend
Use of MaragIianO's Serum.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Five new cases
showing the wonderful results of Marag-
lianos serum for the cure of consumption
We're reported yesterday by DR.. Antonio
Fanoni, who is experimenting with the
serum. Giuseppe Panettere, twenty-five
years old, was examined. The doctor found
both lungs seriously affected, the right lung
being in a particularly bad condition. Then
the physician selected Giuseppe for a test
which would gauge the virtues of the serum
in slow consumption-where the disease, al
though far advanced had not destroyed the
lungs. Panettiere after the third injection
reported marked sharpness of appetite
and stoppage of the night sweats. In
those first six days he had, moreover,
gained half pound in weight. With the
sixth injection the fever had entirely disap-
peared. Since then Panettiere has made
rapid Improvement. The cough which had
CHUNG TO hlm for two years has almost en-
urely ceased. His appetite has returned and
ms strength is increasing daily.
Apgusuna Mettman, the seYenteen-year-
OLD girl was given up by her attending
physicians several weeks ago an incur
able consumptive. DR.. Fanoni began the
treatment on Sept. 20. The girls fever then
stood at lO2 degrees. With the fourth in
lection the fever entirely disappeared. There
has been no return of it since. Her tenn
perature is now perfectly normal and IN
strength and spirit she is seemingly a new
girl.
John Flynn, of No. 225 East Eighty
eighth street, a conductor on the Tenth-ava-
nue. cable line, was attacked with haSty con-
sumption seven months ago. The treatment
was begun on Sept. Is, when F'lynn's fever
registered l0l degrees. Up to the fourth in
Improvement. Then the fever abruptly
dropped to SO 4-10 degrees and the scales
showed he had increased two pounds in
weight He is now rapidly improving.
An especially interesting case is that Of
John Volunteers, an eleven year-old boy. DR..
Fanoni has barely begun treatment in this
case. Only three injections have been made,
and the physicians report tells only of the
fever reduced TO the normal and of the re-
