Blind Senator Says Eye Treatment
Is o, X.

A letter from Senator Thomas 2.
Gore, of Oklahoma, was received in
this city yesterday, contradicting n state
mcnt here made Monday by DR.. Percy
II. Fridcnberg, of New York, an eye
specialist, that the ''rest curc' that Is
being made of Senator Cores blindness
is mostly ''moonshne and poppy
cock.
Senator Cores letter was addressed
to Mrs. Isabel W. Kennedy, secretary
Of the Pennsylvania Home Teaching
Society and Free Circulating Library
for the Blind.
"Permit me to say" says the writer,
that personally | am conservative In
my hopes. Long years OF darkness
have taught me patience. The theories
of my physician, however, are simple
and seem practical. I have already had
a PERCEPTION of sight. This, of course,
proves that the optic nerve is not en-
tirely dead. But time only can tell the
ultimate results OF the treatment"
