No Danger of Blindness.
Dr. w. H. Wilmer, the Washington ocu-
| list who came over in the Vaderland, and
who examined Mrs. Maybrick's eyes, SAID:
| Mrs Maybrick consulted me the second
| day after we left port about her eyes. She
| said that she experienced great difficulty
| IN reading, even with the glasses prescribed
lor her by ocui!Sts whom she consulted
ABROAD Inc report that she Is in any
DANGER OF blindness Is nonsense. Her eyes
are weakened by her long confinement and
| by reading with insufficient light In fact,
her eye trouble Is largely the result of her
| broken-doWn physical condition. With rest
| and a general physical building up see no
| reason why her eyesight should not become
| as good as ever" DR.. Wilmer has been
| abroad several weeks for recreation and 1t
| was merely a coincidence that he returned
| on the same ship with Mrs. Maybrlck.
