Eminent Doctor
Says Blindness
Due to Catarrh
ASSOCIATED Press DispatchD

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch)
LONDON. Aug. 6.-Dr. H. Manning
Fish of Joliet, H.. declared at the
medical congress that most Of the
blindness in the world is the result oS
catarrh in the upper nasal cavities OF
the bony cells composing the roof CT
the nostrils.
DR. Fish described his experience in
thirty-six cases, covering a period ~
several years, claiming that in each OF
these immediate improvement of the
vision followed the effective treatment
of the diseased nasal cavities, and al o.
vised that in cases of loss Of vision
following grip. measles, scarlet fever
and kindred ailments, relief be sought
through treatment Of the noses of the
patients.
Catarrh is caused by a germ. which
must be destroyed before the catarrh
itself can be cured. II not cured,
blindness may result. An extended
history of many extraordinary cures
effected by the Gauss treatment will
probably be brought to the attention
Of the next International meeting Of
the medical congress.
