BLIND so YEARS
SiQht Restored by Or. Weber

Mr.. John G. Redinbaugh Of Lo,
gan, Iowa, an old soldier of the civil
war, now 70 years old, had an ex-
perience showing the help he receiv-
ed in an apparently hopeless case.
He says: ''About four years ago
my right eye went blind with cata-
ract. ! had lost the sight Of my left
eye during the war fifty years ago,
so I was helpless. I went to Omaha
to one of the best oculists and he
operated on my right eye. I stayed
in the hospital for five weeks; had
seyerest pains, but the result was a
failure. returned home and was
advised to go to DR.. Weber, who
often comes to Logan. He examined
my eyes and said the right eye could
not be helped, but Dr.. Weber said
he could help the left one that had
been blind fifty years. This seemed
almost too good to be true, but DR.;
Weber treated the eye and operated
on it at the hotel and my wife did
the care of the eye afterward at
home. | had no pain and my sight
is restored"
