AT MARTINSBURG
TN OFFICE AT NO. 100 SOUTH QUEEN ST.

auv 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
5lindasylums, some who were blind
halt a century and dozens who were
born blind and who never saw light
of day, and restored them to sight.
He has demonstrated that specta
cles are no longer necessary to either
old or young and that flattening OF
the eyes and opacities of the lens can
bevery easily remedied by absorption.
The old people vita wrinkled faces
who have gained second sight prove
that nature has surely done the same
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 a glass eye or one that can
not see at all?
He has restored to sight many peo-
pie who tried the best oculists in Bal
timore, Philadelphia New York and
elsewhere aud was still blind or near
ly so. In few days he had them
