Million for Two Eyes.

A mysterious stranger, DR.. Guelph Nor
man, physician from far away India, has
Travelled more than half way around the
earth to try to restore sight to the blind eyes
of the mutimillionaire, Charles r. Rouss,
The actual treatment consumed but fifteen
minutes.
Mr.. Rouss reclined in big easy chair in
his private office, and the long, weird look
ing doctor from India commenced opera
tons by feeling his pulse. Then he looked
upward and muttered what sounded like a
prayer.
The doctor gazed earnestly into his pa
TENTS eyes and proceeded to rub colorless
liquid over the lids and temples with mys
terious motions. He stroked the back OF
the head. Each motion was timed.
When the doctors treatment was over
Mr. Rouss could see the doctors hand
enough to tell what it was when held ten
inches from his eyes. AT fourteen inches
the millionaire could only tell that there
was some sort OF an object before him.
DR.. Norman says he will restore sight to
the eyes oil the patient within four weeks,
and, though he has been at work for several
days, the TACT was not generally known.
The fact that Rouss offers 100000 or
more TO be able to see as other folks do
reached DIR. Norman in his home in India
He is an Englishman, but has lived in India
for many years. He is not an M. d. ac-
cording to medical ideas, but he claims to
be skilled in arts of optical cures, which are
almost as old as civilization, and the one
now employed on Mr.. Rouss is said to date
back as far as the Vedas, the book of sacred
and historic writings, embracing the ancient
philosophy of the Arayans
