Lincoln Smith to Richmond as having
brought them unalloyed JOY and happ1'

Mr.. Davis, . valued employee Of the

regard to the seeming miracle which has
added brightness to their home.
About four years ago his little daugh-
ter, Helen. now eight years old. was
taken down with the measles. and after
recovering from that tnalady. it was
found that her eyesight was seriously az
fected.
An eye specialist was Immediately con-
suited and glasses and treatment secured
to remedy the defect. For the past four
years her condition grew continually
worse and 1t was found necessary to
keep her from school, although several
specialists were consulted wlthiH that
time.
About one year ESQ the parents were
Informed that all operation would be
necessary to effect cure
Greatly distressed to think that their
child should have to pass through such
a trying ordeal, with but small chance Of
relief, they hesitated to have an opera
ton performed. although the child SUI
fered greatly With her eyes.
About this time Mr.. Davis learned Of
the wonderful work Of Charles Lincoln
