I took the dentist’s hint and my experience has been that, since my teeth have been put thoroughly in order my sight has become stronger and better than it has ever been le‘ fore. On making inquiries into this subject. I find that many cases are on record of failing eyesight being caused by defective teeth exciting disturbances of the ocular nerves. Such a. Case \VaS reported some time ago of a girl, aged fifteen years, who suffered from failing visâ€" ion, and became. according to her own account. blind in a, week: her pupils were 'dilated and insensible. She had two decayed teeth taken out. and "her vision returned to her when Walking away from the hos- pital.” A Week previous to this miraculous cure the blind girl had been examinâ€" ed by a wellâ€"known oculist, who af- ter some persuasion made her read with either eye, and designated the case as “hysterical amblyopia." The recorder of the case considers it a case of "reflex blindness” associated with the presence of the decayed teeth, presumably because carious teeth were noted. The Lancet cites another case 01 a Woman, aged fortyâ€"five years. who complained of impaired vision in the right, eye and a painful upper bicus- pid. The oflending tooth was re- moved and the sight. was immediate- ly restored. Paterâ€"“Has my daughter ever ofâ€" fered you any encouragement '2” fiSiuittbfâ€"“Ovh, yes, Si; !

Marsh, of this~ place, talks of those wonderful exterminators of the pains and aches arising from Diseased Kidneys. And Mr. Marsh should know whereof he speaks. He was under the doctor's care for Kidney Complaint for some time, and. despite their efforts, conâ€" tinued to grow worse. He was al- most in despair when a friend ad- vised him to use Dodd‘s Kidney Pills. In such a severe case the progress towards recovery was na- turally slow, but he persevered, and now he feels justified in using the strong words quoted above. Mr. Marsh thus describes his case': "I was under the doctor's care, but, didn’t seem to get any better, only worse. I was advised by a friend to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills. After I had used them for a. time I began to feel a difference, and I never stopped till I had used 22 boxes.
