Consumption Cured With
Spectacles.

DR. Chalmers Prentice Of London,
Eng, at the Brown Hotel, has excited a
great deal of interest on the part Of per-
sons with whom he has talked concern
ing bis theory for the cure OF consump-
ton. The doctor has spent many years
investigating the effect upon the nervous
system Of the strain which is thrown
upon the eyes by modern civilization.
He has had the eyes Of 800 negroes and
1000 Indians scientifically examined and
has made many examinations of eyes Of
quadrupeds and birds. AS a result Of
his studies he has arrived at the con-
clusion that IL the strain upon the eyes
is relieved, many Of the ailments Of the
human race will be cured.
DR.. Prentice is in Denver for the pur-
pose Of trying on a large scale an expert
ment upon consumptives. He is Of the
opinion that patients using glasses
adapted to their case and at the same
time living in the invigorating atmos-
phere, will quite generally find relief or
cure. He claims that the true method
OF curing diseased organ is to treat
the nerve center supplying nerve force
to the organ and it is upon this theory
that he will carry forward his expert
ments in Colorado.
