BOYS SEE ONLY AT NIGHT
Their Affliction Puzzles Specialists In

Derby, Conn, Physicians and eye
specialists are bsffled by the cases OF
three East Hartford boys, whose sense
of sight is strangely perverted. Two
of the boys, Hyman and Abram White,
6 and years old. respectively, are
practically blind in the daytime, but at
night they see as well as does the ordi-
nary person by day. The third boy,
Frank Cohn, 15 years old. can see only
in the brightest light. Eye specialists
have pronounced the affection of the
White boys incurable and inexplicable,
but attribute Cohn's affection to par
alysis of his left side and say he would
be blind were bis right side also affect
ed
The White boys cannot go abroad
in daylight unaccompanied, and Cohn
is unable to walk the streets alone at
night. Cohn has been unable to go to
school for three years. Hyman White
attends night school and studies in the
dark. During the day the White boys
seek the darkest places and are depress-
ed and peevish, but after sun down
they bring out their tops and marbles,
are full of play and in high spirits
Their eyes have been owl like since
birth, but are normal in appearance.

"GOod news travels fast, and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Staunton are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach. Many a
lame, weak and aching back is bad no

Our citizens are telling the good news
of their experience with the Old Qua
ker Remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
A. H. Bunch, retired farmer of 2l4
w. Water St., Charlottesville, says
.SOme twelve years ago | first noticed
a dull aching across the small of my
back. | Paid little attention to it at
first, but as the attacks occurred much
more frequently and were much more
acute and there was added to them
! trouble with the kidney secretions
very annoying and sometimes painful.
| | commenced to doctor myself, but
even help when the attacks occurred
was Just as remotely in the distance
the dav went for DOan's Kidney
| Pills as it was when first noticed
that had kidney complaint. 1t was
different entirely with their treatment.
They so washed, strengthened and
purified my kidneys that when kidney
secretiOns became normal the back
ache ceased. / am so convinced of the
value of Doan's Kidney Pills that
unhesitatingly recommend them"
