BLINDNESS CUREDB BY
WONDERFUL LENSES.
DR.. A. G. White, Emil
nent Mexico Eye Spe-
cia1ist, Performing
Wonderful Cures of
Eye Affections With
His Magnetic Lenses.

While Mexico has produced
many noted doctors, none have
had a more brilliant career than
DR.. A. G. White, who has created
such a sensation in the scientific
world by introducing the Magnetic
Lenses for curing Affections of the
optic nerve, failing eyesight, weak
eyes, near sightedness, far sight
edness, astigma-ism, and other
eve Affections.
DR.. White has been performing
wonderful cures right here in Mex
leo for a number of years, which
has given him more than nation
al reputation. He has had years
of experience, and patients have
visited him from many other states
;all return to their homes with the
same glad news that "Dr. White
has improved my eyes a thousand
per cent in a few days"
This is rapidly making him
world wide fame. He has inn
proved the sight of over five thous-
and eyes with his Magnetic Lenses.
His elegant Office is over Morris
& Abbay's store. 1t consists of a
large and elegantly furnished re-
ception room and another room es-
pecially equipped for his work.
DR.. White not only has the
largest practice of any specialist in
Mexico but probably no other
specialist in this part of the state
treats as many patients daily as he
does. Every one who calls sees
DR.. White personally.
He will give his free consulta-
ton and his professional opinion
to all who call, Steel frames 81
and up; Gold 81 and up.

thought was taken for proper food
and clothing, and in a short time
news came from the field that dis
ease was causing mere deadly exc
cution than the enemy's bullets.
The commonest necessities for hos
pital work were wanting. There
were no nurses, and it was left
for the sick to nurse the sick and
the dying bury the dead. The
situation was appalling. Some
thing must be done quickly.
The Secretary of War declared
that he knew of but one person in
the kingdom capable of saving the
situation, and that was woman
FLORENCE Nightingale. But
would she undertaken Such work
was unheard of for a woman, and
the responsibility was great. They
could but try, and the Secretary
wrote to her, asking her to take
charge of the hospital work, with
absolute power of control and mn
limited authority to draw OH the
government for funds.
She accepted and with thirty
four trained nurses, went to the
front. 1t wonld take long to tell
of her labors there, aud Of the
transformation, moral as well as
physical, which her coming
wrought. The practical results
are briefly embodied in the official
report of the surgeons, which
showed the death rate reduced
from sixty to less than one per
cent.
The war ended, and all England
Joined in preparation for a recep-
ton to Miss Nightingale which
would be equal 20 that accorded
the bravest of returning heroes.
But it was not her purpose to have
her work cheapened by the blare
of trumpets and the clamor or pub
lie applause. She took passage
unknown on little French steam
er, and before any one knew it,
she stole quietly into her place at
Lea Hurst.
When Queen Victoria heard of
her return, she sent for her at
Balmoral and presented her with a
beautiful enamel cross, on which
the initials ". R." were sur
mounted with crown of diamonds
and bearing the inscription:
Blessed are the merciful." The
Sultan of Turkey also present ed
her with handsome Jeweled
bracelet, and the government gave
$250,000 to found training
school for nurses, which should
bear her name and be a perpetual
memorial to her.

fully studied the popular idea OF
patriotism, both as sentiment
and as "A practical truth. My con-
clusion is that there exists a great
deal of misrepresentation, and ]
feel prompted at this time of pa
triotic fervor to present my views.
l invite and even challenge, any
of your readers who do not agree
with me to prove that / am in err
rOr.
LIST. There is not any part Of
the Bible, even a sentence that re-
quires or justifies patriotism"
2nd. The sentiment called by
this name, like the word that ex-
presses it, is probably of heather
origin.
Ord. The usual definition of
patriotism is "love of country"
The man who seeks to learn what
this phrase means and to carry
out its teachings in his life at
tempts hopeless task.
4th. It is an exaggerated form
of selfshness and is one of the
DEVILS most successful devices to
deceive and mislead the human
race.
9Th. 1t is, in fact, a delusive
method of inducing a violation of
the sixth COMMUNICATIONS
shalt not kill"-and is practically
in opposition to the spirit of the
other nine.
9th. Ministers and others
who teach the coordinate Obliga-
ton of religion and patriotism
have no warrant in reason or
Scripture, and the practice largely
accounts for the diminished moral
tone and tendency to skepticism
among the people.
7th. The religious organization
which sends missionaries to for
eign nations to preach the gospel
of peace and goodwill and the du-
ty of self-surrender and obedience
to God, and rests its claims for
support on the value Of the human
soul, and at the same time APP
proves of aud advises its members
to enlist for war, occupies a posi-
ton so absurd as to be essentially
grotesque.
No man has a right to risk his
own life, which is a trust for
which an account must be render
ed, except in an effort to benefit
his fell ow men.
9th. The claims of the state
are inferior to the claims of God,
and should be regulated by our
relations and obligations to Him.
10th. The continued life and
prosperity of nations depends pri-
marily and indespensably upon
righteousness.
18th. No government has
right to make a training for war
fixed employment for it citizens,
and every man who thus devotes
his life violates divine law and
jeopardizes his happiness for eter-
nifty.
18th. The maintenance of a
navy, except for police purposes,
such as may berequired to suppress
piracy or other violations of hu-
man and divine law, cannot be
justified.
18th. 1t follows that the study
Of the art of war in military and
naval academies has a demoraIiz-
ing influence, and that the ten
deney is to blunt the moral per-
ceptiOn and unfit men who pursue
n fo,. usaful livas
14tb. It is disgrace to Chris
tian people that men who have ex-
celled in the deceptive arts and
brutal destruction Of life, limb and
property involved in war should be
hailed as benefactors, treated with
exceptional honor and often placed
in high official positions.

merit and proper reward for mill
