R. Lynch, under the auspices of the Men's League at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, was well attended and those present enjoyed a rare treat. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. Gus Watkins. After singing America the president introduced Rev. H. W. Porter who with a few appropriate remarks introduced Capt. John R. Lynch, who was well received and his address attentively listened to by both white and colored. He talked of the habits, customs and his experience in Cuba. He emphasized the fact that the color line was not known or drawn there in public or social matters—no separate schools, churches, colleges, restaurants barbers shops and etc, but every person went where he choose, without even a thought of color. In his judgment Cuba is not a place for either the young colored or white man to go to make money, either in profession or business, for the Cubans are loyal to their own citizens. After his address the president introduced Mr. Lewis E. Johnson, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of Buxton, who in a few minutes made a telling impression on the audience, and the people are only hoping to hear more from this talented young Y. M. C. A. worker.

It is an easy matter to solicit newspaper subscribers, if they are not required to pay for the same in advance, but after a subscriber once gets in arrearage it is very hard to get them to pay up and keep up. To some of the larger cities we send our collector direct to the parties, and then they will put off paying with some excuse, they will promise to send it in a few days or weeks, and then never do so. They know that we wont come there again that year, and the next year they have a new excuse. Now the plain fact is you owe the Bystander and you ought to be honorable enough to pay them without so begging. This week we sent out many letters asking you to please remit, so don't read this letter get mad and throw it away, but send the amount you owe. You have read the paper why not pay for it. A little child of Michael Strauss, of Vernon, Conn., was recently in great pain from a burn on the hand, and applications only increased the infaiment. Mr. Strauss came to Mr. James N. Nichols, a local merchant, for something to stop the pain. Mr. Nichols says: "I advised him to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and the first application drew out the inflammation and gave immediate relief. I have used this liniment myself and recommend it very often for cuts, burns, strains and lame back, and have never known it to disappoint."

EXAMINER MAKES REPORT Find That $112,483 91 is Unaccounted For — President Smith Takes Charge of Office of Secretary—Albright Says All Will Be Right Fort Madison, Sept. 22.—George E. Pennell, expert accountant of State Auditor Carroll, who has been going over the books of the Fort Madison Building and Loan Association, completed his work Wednesday and made a report that night at a meeting of the board of directors. The report shows that there is a shortage in accounts of Secretary W. Albright to the amount of $112,555.61, against which there is but $71.70 cash in the bank, making the actual shortage $112,483.91. At the meeting the office of secretary was declared vacant and the account of director was placed in charge. Only a brief statement of the facts was made by the expert, he taking his findings in detail home with him for completion. Secretary W. Albright has held the office for about twenty years and it is the general opinion going on for many years, though others seem to think that he will come out of the difficulty unscathed. The defaulction, if such it is, is a hard blow to many poor people, who have for years been paying money into the bank and finds themselves still in arrears. Mr. Albright made the following statement yesterday: "There being in circulation a general rumor resulting from Mr. Pennell's investigation that there is a shortage in the funds of the building and loan association of the bank, that I have had no opportunity to inspect Mr. Pennell's report, that I know on a reliable examination it will be shown that no shortage exists through my fault or act of mine, that I intend at once to have a thorough accountant make this examination and in turn give evidence of my faith and the public generally to suspend judgment."

Or is it that of Frank Callahan of Peosta, Dubuque county, who was seen for the last time at 9 o'clock at the Rock Island depot on the night of Griswold's disappearance and has been questioned about the two questions now confront the police department and will be solved before the fact is shown that George Griswold, whose funeral was held Wednesday, is actually dead. Investigation has been carried out by Thomas Cullahan of Peosta arrived in Des Moines and commenced looking for his son, a man 35 years of age, five feet seven inches tall, and built along the lines which are followed out in the body pulled from the Des Moines river in the disappearance of George Griswold. The identification of Griswold at the morgue was incomplete. No one could tell from the bloated features, the mass of flesh which was taken from the waters of the river, whether the body was that of Griswold. The build was about the same. The body wore clothes which it is known Griswold had on. The body was no further. The identification went no further. It is now declared that the body was three inches shorter than that of Griswold. CORN FIELDS LEVELLED. Elkader, Sept. 20—A heavy rain passed over Clayton county Monday evening, leaving the fields in fine condition for fall plowing. In the north part of the county, in Grand Meadow township, the storm caused many buildings, moving some off their foundations, destroying many chimneys and wind mills, and levelling fields of corn the ground.

S. Patten of Muscatine, which shows that the pastors are good pastors and the people good to pay me. George R. Griswold the Victim of Dastardly Murderers. RUFFIANS OVERPOWER HIM Motive Was Robbery, as Pockets Were Rifled-He Had Shown Big Insurance Draft-Was Last Seen Early Wednesday Morning September 13 Des Moines, Sept. 17.—With no other clue than a yard of water soaked rope taken from the wrists of George R. Griswold, whose dead body was taken from the Des Moines river at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, the police are facem with one of the greatest murder mysteries which has happened in Des Moines in years. With his hands tied together behind his back, his clothing riffed, pockets turned inside out, watch pocket slashed open with a knife, and several articles of value and a large sum of money missing, the body of George Griswold of 3407 Ingersoll avenue, manager of the State Mutual Insurance company of Worcester, Mass., was found caught on a trot line, near the east bank of the Des Moines river, below its junction with the Raccoon. Since 2 o'clock Wednesday morning, when Griswold left Munger's hotel on Fourth street for the Rock island depot, with the intention of catching the 2:55 o'clock train for Omaha, his whereabouts have been unknown, and even before the finding of the body his friends had become worried at his disappearance and instituted a quiet search. No clue as to where he went from Munger's hotel or what terrible experience fell to his lot in the hour that he had before train time has been found, and only the discovery of his traveling bag, which he had with him when he staked out for dead, and when his bookbook presented to him by a friend, or a gold watch which he had with 14m, may lead to even the faintest surmise as to what were the details of his fate or when his death was accomplished. The grewsome find which first announced his fate was made by Garfield and his sister, Sarah South East First street, who, on examining his lines shortly after daylight yesterday morning, found them broken and discerned the outlines of the body floating near the surface about 200 yards below the place where the line had been set. Gray hurried to the place with a boat, and when he arrived it there until detectives and the corpore could be summoned. Just where the current from the Raccoon first swirls across the Des Moines and cuts into the east bank of the river the lines belonging to Gray were set, and the body catching on one hook looks like it carried it to a point opposite the end of East Allen street, where it was caught and held about twenty-five yards from the bank. Gray visited his lines for the last time last Friday night, and found them at that time in good condition. On his visit at 6 o'clock yesterday that something was wrong, and it was murdered but a few minutes until the body was hauled to the shore. The motive that might lead to such a revolting crime is thought to have been the desire of his assailants to secure possession of a draft from $25,200, which he was known to have had in his possession some days pre- The fact that Mr. Griswold had this draft was no secret, as he had shown it several times on the streets, and it had been mentioned several times in the city papers. The insurance of B. F. Elbert, and was received by Mr. Griswold Monday morning. He had shown it to several of his friends, and had been warned by some of his acquaintances that he should be careful about carrying the draft on his person, but answered that he should have a private estate, and consequently would do no one else any good. The money was paid over Tuesday morning, but the fact that he had carried such a draft with him, without a more definite knowledge of its contents, was not sufficient for a carefully planned holdup. He was also known to carry large sums with him at times, and there is little doubt that the crime was committed by some one who had made a close study of his habits, and not by a highwayman bent on holding the first passby who chanced his way RELINQUISH THEIR LICENSES. Anderson County Druggists Refuse to Pay Mulct Tax. Audubon, Sept. 21.—For the first time in many years Audubon is an absolutely "dry" town, owing to the endeavor of County Attorney Cosson to persuade the druggists to live up to the permit law. One day last week all the druggists in Audubon county hold permits, except Charles Hisman of Brayton their permits and show cause why they should not be made to pay the mulct tax, and the assessors in the different districts were notified by the county attorney to notify all of the druggists that unless they covered into the county treasury one quarter payment of the mulct tax the buildings in which they were doing business would be assessed the tax. The other druggists in Audubon had surredered their permits. The other two will plead not guilty and test the matter in the courts. Gets $2,000 For One Leg. Harlan, Sept. 20. - Lon A.

The sea-cnumber, a curious jelly-sash that inhabits the ocean, can practically efface himself when in danger by squeasing the water out of his body, and forcing himself into a narrow crack so narrow as not to be able to breathe.

One lee night, Charlotte Cushman "and Lawrence Barrett came out of the water, and they were dangerously slippery, and it was with difficulty that they kept their feet at all.

As the play proceeded and a favorite score in the opera was taken, the talented composer unconsciously commenced to hum the refrain as he desired it to be rendered. This considerably annoyed his next-door neighbor, who abruptly remarked: "Excuse me, sir, if I mention the fact that I have paid my money to hear Sir Arthur Sullivan's charming performance by the comedian, and not your confounded humming!" Sir Arthur returned to his "inner and related the incident with great gusto. Could Get No Rest. Freeborn, Minn., Sept. 18th (Special)—Mr. R. E. Goward, a well-known man here is rejoicing in the relief from suffering he has obtained through using Dodd's Kidney Pills. His experience is well worth repeating, as it should point the road to health to many another in a similar condition. He an aggravating case of Kidney Trouble, says Mr. Goward, "that gave me no rest day or night but using a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills put new life in me and I feel like a new man. "I am happy to state I have received great and wonderful benefit from Dodd's Kidney Pills. I would heartily recommend all sufferers from Kidney Trouble to give Dodd's Kidney Pills a fair trial as I have every reason to believe it would never be regretted."

Not long since some Harvard students ambitiously undertook to play "Hamlet" for the benefit of a charity. The man who was to act the part of Horatio was extremely timid, and when the night of the performance same, he was badly overcome by stage-fright. During the scene between Horatio, Marcellus, and Hamet, Horatio managed to sputter out his line, while his wife was in hundred. His fright confused Marcellus, who forgot his cue, and instead of rejoining "Longer, longer," stood staring at Horatio. The prompter, with a view to helping out Marcellus, began to whisper from the wings. "Longer, longer," he lost all control of himself, was inspired with the idea that the man playing Marcellus was looking at him because he had made an error, and that the words from the wings were addressed to him. With a great effort he straightened himself up clearer, and then he began to cry: "Whole one with moderate hustle must tell two hundred, then." HONEST PHYSICIAN. It is a mistake to assume that physicians are always skeptical as to the curative properties of anything else than drugs. Indeed, the best doctors are those who seek to heal with as little use of drugs as possible and by the use of correct food and drink. A physician writes from Calf, to tell how he made a well man of himself with Nassau's diet. "Before I came from Europe, where I was born" he says, "it was my custom to take coffee with milk (cafe lat) with my morning meal, a small cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and two or three additional small cups at my club during the evening. "In time nervous symptoms developed, with pain in the cardiac region, and accompanied by great depression of spirits, despondency—in brief, the blues!" I at first tried medicines, but got no relief and at last realized that the problems were caused by coffee. I therefore quit its use forwith, substituting English Breakfast Tea. "The tea seemed to help me at first, but in time the old distressing symptoms returned, and I quit it also, and tried to use milk for my table beverage. This I was compelled however to abandon speedily, for, while it relieved the nervousness of constipation. Then by happy inspiration I was led to try it. Postum Food Coffee. This was some months ago and I still use it. I am no longer nervous, nor do I suffer from the pains about the heart, while my 'blues' have left me and life is bright to me once more. I know that having off coffee will make it a rule to advise my patients to use it." Name given by Postum Battie Creek, Mich. POPULISTS AND DEMOCRATS FUSE Both State Conventions Select Identical Ticket. IS NO FORMAL DECLARATION But Understanding Exists Among Party Leaders—Resolutions Adopted By Democratic Convention Denounces Rockefeller's Gift. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 21.—Fusion between the democrats and populists of Nebraska was effected yesterday by the nomination by both the convention of an important federal as follows: the supreme court, William G. Hastings of Wilbur; agents of the state university, D. C. Cole of Osceola, Louis Lightner of Columbus. There was no formal declaration for fusion by either convention, but an understanding existed among the leaders in. Of the nominees, Messrs. Hastings and Lightner are democrats and Mr. Cole a populist. The feature of the democratic gathering was the speech of William J. Bryan, in which he bade his party associates in the state farewell for a year at least on the eve of his departure for an extended tour of the old state. Bryan commended President Roosevelt for what he declared to his advanced stand on the principles advocated by the democratic party. On these principles he hoped every democratic would uphold the president. A resolution which caused a stir in the convention and which was prompted by the announcement the Rockefeller gift to the University of Nebraska; criticized the regents for accepting it and demanded they return the gift to the donor. The platform is largely devoted to state issues, defining the position of the party especially on regulation of railroads. It says, "I have given to the interstate commence commission the power to fix railroad rates." "The right of appeals should not, of course, be denied, but when the commission has fixed the rate it should go in force immediately and remain in force until rejected by a court of competent jurisdiction." The anti-pass plank is declared the strongest ever adopted by a Nebraska law. The populist platform declares for the enactment of the initiative and referendum and the national ownership and operation of railroads. DID NEW YORK. LIFE MAINTAIN A LOBBY? New York, Sept. 21.—That, $255,000 has been paid by the New York Life insurance company to Andrew A. Hamilton of Albany, that no accounting for this money has been made except to President McCall verbally and that Hamilton attends sessions of the legislature at Albany in the interest of the New York Life insurance company briefed yesterday by testimony given Mr. McCall before the insurance investigating committee. Mr. McCall said that the various sums making up the $255,000 paid to Hamilton had been given them in connection with different real estate deals, but Mr. Hughes, after receiving a briefing, agreed the fact that none of the money had been actually applied to such deals. Mr. McCall also said that Mr. Hamilton was allowed money for expenses at Albany and that Hamilton's accounts were not subject to audit. Mr. McCall denied that he gave Mr. Hamilton money to influence any member of the New York Life Insurance company. The $25,000 Mr. McCall said, he was sure would be paid by Mr. Hamilton on demand of the New York Life Insurance company. "It isn't," said Mr. McCall, "I'm responsible and I'll ask it." Hamilton received for legal services, he said, about $100,000 a year from the New York Life Insurance company. On the subject of the New York Life Insurance company's campaign contributions in recent years, Mr. McCall said that he was in the pose of defeating the silver platform and for the support of the gold standard rather than the republican party.

Officials of Western Life Insurance Company Accused. THE CHARGES ARE SERIOUS Include Fraud and Misapplication of Funds - Defendant Officers Are All Residents of Lincoln, Neb- Suit is Brought in Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 20—Charges of fraud, misapplication of trust funds and attempts to transfer assets to another concern are made in a suit for receiver and accounting, filed yesterday afternoon against present and former officials of the Western Life Indemnity company, an assessment insurance association. E. I. Rosenfeld and W. H. Gray, the latter being the organizer of the association, are prominently mentioned in the bill in connection with the alleged fraudulent voting of funds to themselves. The bill was filed in the United States circuit court by Attorney S. Levinson, representing numerous policy holders. Later Attorney Levinson went before Judge S. H. Bethea on a motion for the issuance of a restraining order, stopping a meeting with the company to be held Thursday. The company met with resistance by the defendants. Gray is alleged to have secured promises from the thousands of members and thus controlled the directors. By securing this control it is alleged Gray had passed a resolution giving him the right by contract to serve for each $1,000 in insurance issued. This was done in secret, and although the complaining policy holders recently learned of it, they were refused information by Rosenfeld, Moulton, Gray and other. Besides the policy holders, Rosenfeld and Gray alleged to have improperly taken, it is declared Gray and his associates by other fraudulent means took many other thousands of dollars from the concern without the knowledge of the policy holders. The policy holders are Allen Field, Jesse B. Strode and Addison S. Tib betts and the defendants, besides the insurance company, Rosenfeld and Gray, are George M. Moulton, John A. Crawford, L. M. Martin, C. T. Drake, D. D. Bramble, A. B. Huston, E. Moore and M. N. Hislop. Each the defendants are residents of Lincoln, Neb. After considerable argument by counsel for both sides it was agreed that the case be continued until next Tuesday and that in the meantime matters should remain in status quo. The defending lawyers agreed that the meeting of the officials of the insurance company, which was to have been held Thursday, should be convened and immediately adjourned. "SLUGGER" PLEADS GUILTY. George Meller of Carriage Makers Has Confessed. Chicago, Sept. 21—A plea of guilty by George Meller, president of the Carriage and Wagon Workers' union, No. 4, spread conspiration among the eleven defendants in the "sluggers" trial before Judge Kersten yesterday. It is reported that the man will go on the stand and make startling revelations of union methods of labor exploitation, which taken the places of Chicago strikers in recent labor struggles. The state will attempt to prove by Meller's testimony, it is said, that the executive board of the union held regular meetings to vote money for the strikers.

CZAR CALLS THE NATIONS TO ASSEMBLE AT HAGUE St. Petersburg, Sept. 19.—Emperor Nicholas again appears before the world as a promoter of universal peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japanese war over and even before the peace treaty has been ratified, than his majesty issues invitations to a second peace conference at The Hague. That the emperor has done so was learned yesterday from a source which leaves no shadow of doubt as to its authenticity. It is officially announced that "the Russian government proposes to add a foreign power with a view to the holding of a second peace conference at The Hague," but it is known that negotiations preceding this announcement that the government "proposed to address the powers" were entered into especially with the United States and were conduct with the greatest secrecy, there being the slightest inking that Russia contemplated anything of that kind. The announcement created the greatest surprise here, and that Russia should plan a second conference despite the steps already taken by Russia. Roosevelt was also heard with amazement that steps could not be taken by Russia without first reaching a complete understanding with President Roosevelt. The fact that President Roosevelt is reported as being entirely in sympathy with the proposal and that he has been asked to lead the of the first Hague conference should belong the honor of convoking the second, and readily and gladly acceded to the Russian proposal, is clear proof that the conference has already been called and that President Roosevelt acquitted his part in it to the emperor. There is strong reason to believe that the news even of the intention of the Russian government would not be given out unless invitations had already been sent to the powers and, therefore, that their answers had been received. GOOD BLOOD FOR BAD themettum and Other Blood Diseases are lesions. Williams' Pink Pills In the lead mines I was at work on my trees with my elbows pressed against rock walls, in dampness and extremes of gold," said Mr. J. G. Meukel, of 2975 Jackson Avenue, Dubouge, Iowa, in describing his experience to a reporter, "and it is not surprising that I contracted rheumatism. For three years I had attacks affecting the joints of my ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles and knees became so swollen I could scarcely walk on uneven ground and a little pressure from a stone under my feet would cause me so much pain that I would nearly sink down. I was often obliged to lie in bed for several days at a time. My friends who were similarly troubled were getting, no relief from doctors and I did not feel encouraged to the money away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of Dubouge, who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People, the remedy he had used. In three or four weeks after beginning to use the pills, I was much better and in three months I was well. The swelling of the joints and the tenderness disappeared, I could work steadily and for eight years. I have had no return of the person. My wife's family believe Dr. Williams's Pink Pills. Both my sons use them. We consider them a household remedy that we are sure about. What Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for Mr. Meukel they are doing for hundreds of others.

One of the most humorous incidents of her career occurred during the late Mrs. Gilbert's earlier days, when she was a member of a company presenting an intensely emotional drama. Proof was furnished the family of the hero that apparently had been the most pleasant kind. Naturally there was much weeping on the stage, accompanied by wringing of hands and other demonstrations.

Defiance Starch is unlike any other, better and one-third more for 10 cents. A well-known theatrical manager met a ministerial friend in New York the other day. When they had last met the minister was stationed in a small town in Ohio. "On a visit here?" asked the manager. "Oh, no," replied the minister. "I am here permanently. Had a call to a large church here. The work is more congenial, and the minister is more Ohio." "And you regard that as a call?" asked the theatrical man; "It looks to me more like a raise." Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz. one full pound - while all other Cold Water Starchs are put up in ¼-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocery tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he defends to dispose of before he defends to have Defiance Starch printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks.

PACKERS PAY FINE FOR CONSPIRACY Four Officials Plead Guilty in Chicago Federal Court ONE'S CONSCIENCE HURTS HIM Worry Over Trial Endangers Life of Samuel Well — District Attorney Morrison Pleased With Startling Turn in Litigation. Chicago, Sept. 22—Four officials of the Schwarzwild & Sulzberger Packing company of Chicago were fined an aggregate of $25,000 by Judge Humphrey in the United States district court here yesterday. The fines followed a plea of guilty to indictments charging conspiracy to accept railroad rebates. The defendants were Samuel Well of New York, vice president of the company. V. S. Cusy, traffic manager; Vance D. Skipworth and Charles E. Todd, assistant traffic managers. Mr. Well was fined $10,000, the other three $5,000 each. With the entering of the plea, the declaration was made that unless at least one of the cases is immediately settled, the life of Samuel Well, who is vice president of the company and is one of the defendants, is in jeopardy, the case was wrecked and fears were entertained for his life if he had been allowed to continue under the stigma of an indictment. The plea was entered, it is declared, after a complete understanding had been reached between counsel for the defendants and Atchison in Chicago, the attorney general was apprised of the condition of Vice President Well and it is said, agreed to the entry of a plea of guilty with the understanding that the jail provision of law under which the indictment was returned should be waived and the same concession was made in the case of the other three defendants. The four defendants were charged with unlawfully combining and agreeing to solitely rebates for the Schwarzschild & Sulzbzerger company from the Michigan Central Railroad company, the Boston & Maine Railroad company, the Grand Trunk Western railroad, the Lehigh Valley Railroad company, the Boston & Maine Railroad company and the Mobile & Ohio railroad company. Arguments were made that the defendants conspired with each other in supposed claims for damages which were in reality claims for rebates. The plea made yesterday does not in any way affect the case of interference with government witnesses in the case of wrongdoing turned against Cousy and other Schwarzschild & Sulzbzerger men. The four defendants were in the federal court building and all but Well appeared before Judge Humphrey. They were accompanied by Attorney I. M. Bayeson and H. J. Herrick. United States District Attorney Morrison yesterday filed a demurrier to the plea of abandonment made on Wednesday to the judge for beef trust case. The demurrier alleges insufficient allegations in the plea of the packers. WILL FINALLY PASS New York, Sept. 21.—Senator Stephen B. Klins of West Virginia is in New York and has been in consultation here with various railroad and business men on the subject of railroad and tariff legislation to be considered by congress. As a member of the senate committee on interstate commerce, Senator Elkins will have charge of all railroad legislation in the senate. He predicts that a rate regulation bill will pass this winter, but feels that a prolonged and bitter fight will ensue when the subject of tariff revision is considered. The senator. "The committee of which I am chairman and which will frame a measure this winter is prepared for its work and will meet two weeks in advance of the regular session for the purpose of preparing a bill. Every member of the committee knows exactly where he stands upon this measure. As a member of the senate I will have a bill ready for introduction.

The recent campaign against the use of proprietary medicines, conducted in the columns of The Ladies' Home Journal and Collier's Weekly, has evoked an answer from the Committee on Legislation of the Protectors' Association: "In considering the question raised by recent attacks upon proprietary medicines, every reasonable man will admit that there is a wide and legitimate field for the manufacture and sale of medicines already prepared for general use and easily obtainable at all times and everywhere. The medicines are not patented at all, and the popular use of the word 'patent' in connection with them is a misnerm. Any pharmacist will tell you that practically the only 'patent' medicines in use to-day are those which are manufactured either by foreign or domestic pharmaceutical houses, and which are cow almost exclusively dispensed by the press, designated by them in their press-relations. "The medicines which are now the subject of wholesale attack by Mr. Bok and Editor Hapgood are the old-fashioned family remedies properly described as 'proprietary medicines.' They are the favorite remedies among millions of people all over the country; and, notwithstanding the constant effort of some physicians to createthese remedies at the same ever yet heard of any of the millions of users of such remedies asking for legislation or other action adverse to them."

HOLLAND OF ELKHART DID NOT LOSE SIGHT Remarkable Success of Dr. Lew Arntz Specially Ground Glasses Restore Vision to Injured Eye When Operations Fail. Saved from almost total blindness of the left eye, the result of an accidental injury and puncture upon it, with the result that the patient was operated upon it, with the result that the critically ground glasses prescribed by Dr. Lew Arntz of Des Moines restored the patient to two months. Such is the reliance to Dr. Arntz skill contributed by Mr. J. T. Harper. Nine years ago, Mr. Holland was painfully injured by being struck in the eye with a flying nail which nearly cost him the complete loss of that organ. His case was at once put in the hands of the hospital. He was a specialist of his eye grow worse. Another specialist was consulted and another operation submitted to, but matters went from bad to worse, as far as regarding the use of the eye were concerned. Friends advised him to come. The doctor was informed to take the care of the doctor examined the eye as a very fully, which he found to be misshapen and incapable of properly refracting the rays of light upon the retina. For this case he ground a special loss to properly refract the light upon the interior of the eye and was formerly did, with the result that the within two months he had praetentially regained normal vision of the injured eye. Mr. Holland is very grateful to Dr. Arntz for restoring to him the use of his eye, and has advised many friends to bring their eye troubles to Dr. Arntz. He was a his case. ELKHART, Inc. Aug. 2, 1965.—About nine months ago I was unlucky enough, while driving a nail, to have the same rebound and strike in my left eye, which A. B. caused almost total blindness in that organ. I was operated on by two different specialists, but the eye got worse instead of better. I was advised by several friends to consult Dr. Lew Arntz of Des Moines, Ia., which I did. Dr. Arntz had special ground glasses made for me, which restored the vision in about two months to practically its normal condition. I certainly would have gone totally blind in that eye had it not been for the interest Dr. Arntz took in my case. I would advise people suffering from poor vision to read the doctor's testimonial circular. It can not but help change the minds of the skeptics. It did with me. The consequence is that I can today see out of my left eye, which was nine months ago practically blind. MR. J. T. HOLLAND, Elkhart, Iowa State Bystander DES MOINES. IOWA FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22.
