decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
of coffee for breakfast, two at noon
and one at night. According to the
records of the specialists Of this coun-

by the use of coffee.

rest of his sight will follow and the
entire nerve be ruined.-Register-
