Governor Felt Writes.

For years the gradual loss of eyesight
has caused me unmistakable annoyance.
During that period it was my misfor-
tune to purchase glasses that were an
absolute failure. Some time since I got
glasses of you, and although the work
required of me since purchasing them
has been unusually hard, yet it has sur
prised and gratified me to learn that
my eyes seem stronger and my vision
clearer than for many years before.

A Variety of Diseases All Cured Sim
ply by Applying His Wonderful
Remedies to the Eyes.

The list of difficult cases which Pro-
fessor Samuels has cured in Topeka
grows larger day by day. If one ac-
count of each was put in the newspa-
per, people would be astonished at the
size of it. Below are the names of
some we'll known people who have been
treated for various diseases. No ac-
count is taken of people who have been
SIMPLY htted with glasses.
F. G. Downey, attorney, &c Columbian
building, had the use of only one eye
the best OculiSt in Kansas City claimed
there was no help for the other eye

treatment, by absorption.
Mr.. A. Troup, of Troup's Enterprise

was getting no better. He called on
Prof Samuels and was cured in six
weeks of catarrh and sore eyes.
Mrs Warner, wife Of Councilman J.
s. Warner had been suffering for sew
eral years with a bad case of sore eyes
She had tried several doctors and most
of the so-caned oculists in town but
got no relief She was induced to try
Prof. Samuels and after two months
treatment she was entirely cured. When
Mr. Warner settled for the glasses he
remarked that he never paid out money
more cheerfully in his life.
Mr.. ]. H. Bevelfe, Topeka manager of
the Western Union Telegraph company,
was suffering with graunlated eyes and
also catarrh. He treated for % months
with what he supposed to be the best
oculiStS with no Improvement. In so
days under Prof Samuels he was cured.
Mr.. Pigg, proprietor of the St. Mich
olas hotel, had his daughter treated by
the so-called best oculists of this city
until she was made entirely blind. In
a short time after taking her to Prof.
Samuels she was cured by his way of
treating.
NJ. s. Sales, who works for the Chica-
go Lumber company, at Third and
Jackson streets, was entirely blind.
The best oculists in the city claimed
that no human being could make him
see. But he is now cured by this won
derful method and now sees we'll

Eight hundred

Chicago, April 23.-Eight hundred
stalwart sons of Illinois declared them
selves for war at the armory of the First
regiment last night. They gave voice
to their determination with their rifles
to the country, drilled, disciplined and
equipped. They cheered for the red,
white and blue" and swore to fight for
three years or during the war. Their
enthusiasm seemed to increase as the
dangers to be undergone were pointed
out, the cheers of the young soldiers
rising from floor to roof as one great
wave of sound, to be taken up by the
thousands of spectators packing the
galleries until the tumult of patriotic
demonstration threatened the great
walls with demolition.
