had been sitting in three days card
game before ! tried this new Baltimore
remedy Ny eyes would simply ache
with weariness a couple OF hours after
had finished long night sleep. DR..
Gary has stopped this entirely. He has
cured 80 or so per cent Of all the cases
{ he has treated. and I believe just as
surely as that 1 am talking to you that
ne will give me back my eyesight."
This is the way that Condor describes
the apparatus and DR.. Garys method of
applying it:
Keynote of the idea.
Compressed air is the keynote Of the
entire scheme. First there is a quarter
horse power battery which runs small
machine which congresses air. Attached
to this are two long rubber tubes. to the
sads Of which are fastened two glass
Gups shaped so that they fit down close
over the face ana touch the eyeballs.
That's all the apparstus there is.
Now for the treatment itself The
glass cups I spoke of are first pressed
against the head at the base of the
brain. Then the current is turned on.
There are two apertures in the surface
of the glass cups and through one of
them air under considerable pressure IS
forced against the head. Through tho
other aperture air is drawn III. The glass
is kept close against the flesh. Ccnse-
quently the parts to which it is applied
are Worked back and forth with move
ment something like an indescribab1y
quick. delicate massage.
Manipulating Air Currents.
"The flesh seems 10 quiyer under the
currents OF air. The glass cups are kept
en- the base of the skull with the air
current on for four minutes Then
the cups are fitted over the eyeballs
and the same operation is performed on
them. This sensation is most peculiar.
bur the movement is so delicate that it
is not al all painful. The eyeball feels
as if it were being lightly pressed in on
one side and drawn out on the other.
which, as matter of fact. it is. This
lasts for three minutes. 1t is bringing
back my sight.
Stimulant TO the Optic Nerves.
What is the philosophy of it, Well.
the application on the back of the head
acts as direct stimulant on the blood
vessels that supply the optic nerves.
Then comes the application upon the
eyeball which acts directly upon the
optic nerve. 1t produces sort OF fric-
tion. as | understand ii. on the nerve
much farther back than any other
treatment that has ever been tried. Ii
the nerve is not entirely dead, if there
is a spark OF life left in it. the friction
tends to dispose OF the atrophy and re-
store it to its normal condition"

"One notable thing observed while !

Prof. A. c. Speer, of Ferris In

reports the prospects for cotton in
his section exceedingly fattering.
Ferris Institute, he said, is pros

for the coming session promises to
exceed anything of the past. Prof.
Speer conducts one of the best pre-
paratory schools in Texas as is evil
denced by the fact that his school is
affiliated with fourteen universities.
He has been at Ferris a number of
wears and the confidence of his fel-
low citizens in his ability as a
teacher is amply shown by the liber-
al support given him.
