Boy Treated by an OcuIist With

"Wben my little boy was three months
old his eyes became very sore and he was
almost blind. l took him to an oculist
who treated him for six months, and left
him as bad as he was at the beginning.
Finally Ho>d's Sarsaparilla was recon-
mended and 1 began giving it to him.
In less than three weeks he was able
to go into the sun without covering
his eyes, and today his eyes are perfectly
well, and his ears and nose, which were
badly affected, are also well. Hoods

these measures consisted in serving the
manager of the Hawaiian Tramways
Company with a peremptory order to
place the square in the same condition
in which it was prior to the tearing up
of the street to lay the track which is
now the subject of the injunction.
Instead OF proceeding to- do as they
were ordered. the company's attorneys
sought the courts again and yesterday
appeared before Judge Perry with an
application for a modification OF the in
junction. They coolly asked the court
to allow them to- complete the track for
which the street is now torn up, agree
ing TO take it up IL it should he found
they had no right to- lay II. In support
of the motion they offered the peremp-
tory order and notice served on thvm

Perry promptly denied the motion
which leaves Minister Young's order in
full force.
