The wonderful work OF DR. w. J.
Morris in West Virginia surpasses
ANYTHING ever heard in the history OF
the world. Who would ever think
any human being could make the
blind see? He has made practice OF
it for the past three years, gladden.
ing many heart and making well
Hundreds of eyes, He has taken men
and women out of the poor houses and
blindasylums, some who were blind
half century and dozens who were
born blind and who never saw light
of day, aud restored them to sight.
He has demonstrated that specta
cles are no longer necessary to either
old or young and that fiattening OF
the eyes and opacities OF the lens can
be very easily remedied by absorption,
The old people vita wrinkled faces
who have gained second sight prove

thing. The only difference Is Prot.
Morris does in a few days what 1t
takes nature seventy or eighty years
to accomplish.
Prof. Morris has shown that the
cruel punishment OF the knife, needle
operating table and dark room is no
longer necessary and that afflicted
eyes if not totally destroyed Can be
retained and made to see again. Is
this not much better than an empty
socket, or glass Eye or one that can
not see at all?

timore, Philadelphia, New York and
elsewhere and was still blind or near
