"a Som thing must be done. I was

and skill Tor years. He made a
thorough examination OF the inside
Of my eye and found l had the much
dreaded optic nerve disease. Under
ordinary methods OF treatment this
disease is considered incurable, but
started treatment by Dr.. Weber's
new method and my sight gradually
returned so that in few months
time was again enabled to resume
my NJ duty as q pharmacist and am
thankful to say that DR.. Weber re-
stored my sight and am able to see
