LAV-MAKERS OF INDIANA.

An Angumcntative Tilt Among Attorneys Regarding Collection Fees. The Senators and Representatives Obsem the Bare Formality of Yotinjr for a United States Senator Legislative Jiotes. Tb lawyers monopolized the interest of the Tlotiae-yesterday afternoon throngh the Mock bill and amendment thereto concerning attorney fee. When suit is brought nowadays on overdue notes, bills of exchange and foreclosures . of mortgages one of th important items of the complaint is that the plaintiff should be allowed in addition to interest, ordinary costs of suit and principal of the debt, a judgment sufficient to recompense the lawyer. In notes, and especially in mortgages, the condition that the lawyers shall be looked after is often expressed. It means that if the debtor meets his obligation at maturity or at the expiration of any time of especial grace thereafter, the attorney is to eet nothing, but if suit ensues then the judgment is to extend far enough to save the creditor from any loss whatever, by virtually giving his attorney a share of the proceeds of any execution that may be enforced. The Mock bill and its amendments provide that any stipulation in the interest of attorney fees shall be illegal and void. A large class of lawyers, particularly men young in practice, thrive on collections of this Viod. Many enter into a suit knowing that their personal interest as veil as that of their clients rest upon the forthcoming judgment Small and honest lebtors, it is presumed, when, through misfortune or accident, they cannot walk straight np 10 a fulfillment of their obligations suffer by ihis combination of creditor and lawyer, hence pf late years & sentiment has arisen against the taw. Bat many of th6 profession do not want to let it go. When the committee divided in its report the other day, the majority recommending the indefinite postponement of the bill and ibe minority favoriag its passage, the latter was substituted in concurrence. Its opponents, throngh. Representative Major, then hoped to kill the measure by destroying the enacting clause, and it was this Oat brought about the discussion yesterday afternoon. It enabled the freotlemen of the bar to give their experience in practice, and as to argument the odds were equal,' but the supporters of the bill gave their appeals for its passage more or less the flavor of asking for the applause of those who would be especially benefited by its provision. It was stated that if the lender let out money with the possibility of being compelled to pay a lawyei to recover it, the impecunious, even those who could supply good collateral or security, would find difficulty in procuring accomodation. The lender would be driven to charge higher Interest to make up the loss he would suffer through, litigation. It was the opinion of - those favoring the bill that the people demanded a prohibition of a stipulation of attorney fees in all notes, commercial paper, mortgages and eontracts. Representative Gough said be knew of notes being placed in the bands of lawyer so that the latter could earn fees by bringing suit ' immediately on the maturity of the evidence of debt. He knew other instances where the law yer and plaintiff shared the proceeds of the stipulation this feature of a contract allowed. Representative Griffiths did not agree with the gentleman. Such cases were abuse of the pres ent law, and he thought this bill antagonistic to foreign money coming into the State. There was no good reason why a lender, in case of the de fault of his debtor, should pay attorney fees. Representative Jewett considered the present law as a promoter of litigation when legislation should be directed towards decreasing the number of cases on court calen dura. Be extolled his profession a the most honorable, gave that of the minister, but on tne iron-clad notes of to-day there were many lawyers ready to abuse the law. Collections are made by nine-tenths of tbe lawyers who have no other business, and in many cases they are related by blood er-marriage to national banks, jfle Snew a lawyer in -.New Albany who had more collections to make than any other person, and he turns over all but 2 per cent of the proceeds of suits to a national bank in that city. Representative Beasley talked on both sides of the question, with an anxiety to amend the bill so that the amount the lawyers are to receive shall be given iu the notes, contracts and mortgages, lie wanted this compensation limited to 10 per cent on all sums under $100, and to 5 per cent on amounts above that; bat he failed to get the propobitien before the House. Representative Major withdrew his motion, and an effort was madn to force tbe measure through under a suspension of the rules, but it got only to en gross merit As far as the Senate is concerned Fort Wayne caa have the school . for feeble-minded children. The hill to this effect came up for third reading yesterday, and although an effert was made to ?iv it a backset at this progressive stage, the Allen county people won. It is a bill reported by the committee under the compromise having the purpose of tbe McDonald bill that provides for the retention of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home at Ivnigntstown. The Fort Wayne measure was passed by a unanimous vote, while consideration of the McDonald bill led to the appointment of a special committee, iuessrs. McDonald, Logsdon and Huston, to go to Knightstown and in vestigate the title to the real estate on which it Is proposed to maintain the home. This bill was made the special order for Thursday. 1 A Formal Ballot. The formality of the joint convention yesterday was reduced to the smallest limit, and if tbe voting for Senator could have been legally avoided both Democrats and Republican would feave assented to the omission of a ballot en tirely. Neither party felt satisfied with the showing they would, have on a call of the roll. and as the Democrat did not relish the refusal of the Republicans to vote Saturday, the latter consented to an agreement by which a formal rote could be had. All pairs were cot off. nor had many of the absentees reported, so a plan that would avert discussion vras sought Representative of tbe two parties agreed that the vote should he proportionately reduced by omitting many names from the House and Senate rolls. It tt s proposed to the four independents that they should foreeo voting, but this they refused te consider. They intended to cast their foar votes for Allen whether any one else responded or not On the voting list of the Senate sine Democrats and five Republicans were retained, and on that of the House five each from the two parties and the feur independents were called. The vote itood: SenateHarrison, 5; Tisrpie, 9. House Harrison. 5; Turpie, 5; Allen, 4. Total Harrison, 10; Turpie, 14; Allen, 4. The Convention then adjourned, leaving in its trace ptany conjectures as to the result of to-day's voting. During the afternoon there were frequent consultations among the Democrats relating to Che pairs that were out, and those of the Senate thought the matter of so much importance tbat they held a caucus at noon. Late in the evening (bey heard from absentees and became more reconciled in the belief that Turpie would have all ct 14 is seventv-five rotes to day. Legislative Notes. Senator French has introduced a bill to repeal tbe telephone law. It ia similar to that offered by Representative Reynolds. The Senate yesterday passed a bill ttlloting me or toe nicnea in tne roxunaa ot the Capitol ia a statue of General Hackelman. Jnstin McCarthy, M. P.. sent bis acknowledgements to the House and Senate for their invitations and regretted that he could not accept the privileges extended to mm. A petition is being circulated urging the Gen eral Assembly to pass a bill similar to thoee of Senator Bryant and Representative Reynolds that seek to regulate the sale of drugs and poisons. Amohg the bills reaching engrossment in the House are thuae of Representative Ackman, inakift? it a misdemeanor for townnhip trnstees W fall to maintain and repair fish ladders; of i

Representative Metzer providing for the va

cation of burial grounds, and or Kepresentative Leigh ty requmns train bulletins to be placed at all stations. After a great deal of discussion, Representa tive Oursler's bill to secnre free roads to all at tending religious meetings, was finally amended so as to limit it to no toll on Sunday. It was then ordered engrossed. The eivil-service bill of Representative Griffiths will come up in the House this afternoon as the special order on the majority and minority reports of the judiciary committee. It promises the most interesting debate of the session. Representative Kellison's 6 per cent-interest bill, tbat is to be the special order in the House, Tuesday, the Stb, ia radical in iu requirements. Any interest whatsoever, whether expressed in contracts or not, above 6 per cent is to be con sidered absolutely void. The Senate committee on judiciary has divided equally on the Trippett and Winter bills, provid ing for an appellate court The latter would create a court of five and tbe former one of three judges. The reports are to be discussed as special order Friday morning. There was a creat deal of talk on the Demo cratic side of both houses, yesterday, to placate the work in cm en. it was toe much for an intel ligent Knight of Labor, thoueb. who beard Sen ator Barrett say in his speech in behalf of the Fort Wayire bill that a school for feeble-minded children was in the interest of the poor. "It is they," said the Senator, "who will be benefited by this noble institution." 'That won't do," remarked the Knight, and a Democrat, too, to a man in the lobby. "Tbat bite at the workingman's bait is too eager." The petition to the Representatives, yesterday, expressing the wish of the Knights of Labor for a law prohibiting members from accepting railroad passes, called for a protest from Representative Kellison. He -regarded it, at first, as a joke on tbe House, and wanted it rejected, but an explanation from Representative Robinson, who presented it led him to treat it with gentler consideration. Another Representative unwittingly spoke against it, and afterward modified his'expressions. It was referred to the appropriate committee. THE PROCEEDINGS IX DETAIL THE SENATE. Introduction of New Measures and Passage of the Fort Wayne Bill. After prayer by Senator J. H. C. Smith, the Senate, yesterday morning, took np the introduction of bills, when the following were referred to appropriate committees: By Mr. Davis: Concerning the State librarian and the selection of that officer.

Br Mr. Vox: To amend bectaon bu or the Kevisea Statutes of 1831. The Senate bill concerning the establishment of a school for feeble-minded children at Ft Wayne came up as the special order. Mr. Campbell, desiring to propose an amend ment, objected to its being engrossed. Mr. Fowler moved to amend so as to provide that the city of Ft Wayne shall purchase ' the land upon which the institution shall be built Mr. Howard moved to amend the amendment so the cost shall not exceed $10,000. Mr. Rahm opposed both amendments, as did Mr. . Johnson, Mr. McDonald. Mr. Mnllinix, Mr. Howard, of St Joseph. Mr. Urmston, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Sellers, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Bar rett and Mr. Dresser. Mr. Smith, of Wells, could not consistently vote for the amendment because one of tne counties he represents (Huntington) offers 1C0 acres of land as a site for the institution. Both the amendments were rejected by sepa rate votes, and the bill was tben passed yeas 36, nays none. The committee report favoring tne passage of Senate bill No. 6, to amend the act establishing the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home, was then read. Mr. Sellers moved the appointment of a special committee of three to report on the title to the land on which the home is situate.

The House yesterdav was opened with grayer by Rev. E. A. Bradley, of Christ Church. Mr. Sharabaugh introduced a bill to t rohibit the granting of police powers to persons not having resided in this State two years. After a little discussion, the House toll bill un der consideration Saturday was amended to make all travel On toll roads free on Sunday, and was ordered engrossed. Afternoon Session. Mr. Major moved to strike the enacting clause out of the bill introduced by Mr. Pleasants making any aereement to pay attorneys' fees expressed in totes, tnortsaarea er contracts void. Messrs. Major, Linck, Griffiths, Beasley and White favored the motion. Messrs. Gottgh, Jewett, Roberts, Gardiner, Garrison and Pleasants supported the passage of the bill. The principal objections to the passafe of tbe bill were that it would be a hardship upon the men loanine money to compel them to pay for collection: that It would drive an of the foreign money-lenders out of the State, and make it almost itnhrK$jr! to renew existing loans providing for attorney's fees, 6r to borrow money. In favor of the bill it was urged that the contract for attorney's fees wa3 the worst kind of an aereement for usury, and that it was an oppression that ought not be tolerated. It would not drive foreign capital out of tne S.ate, as there is plenty of money to be had in Cincinnati at 4 and 5 per cent, and it wA& be obtained here at 8 per eient, wlthBt any aement to pay attorney's feest lX.'0!' D' Hyatt and others were filed by Mf. Fleece. A bill to reduce the Iate df interest to 6 per

cent was, on motion of Mr. Kellison, made a special order for Tuesday week at 2 p. M.

Mr. Jewetl's bill, prohibiting discrimination in freight charges, was made a special Older for Friday, at 10 o'clock. Mr. Scott's bill, to require township trustees to pay for the temporary relief of poor out of the township fund, was indefinitely postponed. friE LATE A, D. CUEKE. His Funeral Services Testerday Jr. McLeod'8 Tribute to the Virtues of His Character The funeral of Mr. A. D. Clarke was held yesterday from hia late residence, and was very largely attended. The services were eondueted by bis pastor, Rev. James McLeod, assisted by Rev. W. Hendrickson. After a brief address from the words "To die ie gain," Dr. McLeod said of Mr. Clarke: "Most of hia life was identified with this city. His business brought him into contact with all our best citizens. Every lover of good literature in the city knew Mr. Clarke. Every minister of the gospel knew him. It is no disparagement to others in the same business with him to say that he had more friends than all of them. It was & pleasure to .trade with him. He was an intelligent, clean. courteous. Christian gentleman. As a member and an office-bearer of the Presbyterian Church, be discharged all hU duties with fidelity. First as deacon in the Second Church, then an elder in the Twelfth Church, and recently uniting again with the Second Church, he has, in all his church relations, set a good example before his brethren. As a husband, a father, a friend, and a neighbor we mourn bis loss. But onr loss is his gain. It was his purpose to go to California, in search of health. His pbysiciad and his friends hoped the change would do him good. God ordered otherwise. He has called him to a better land. He has seen the golden gates of Paradise, and through them he has entered into the city. He has gone to that land where the flowers are in perpetual bloom. His eyes hare Been the King in His beauty, and amid heaven's beatitudes he shall dwell forever and forever more. "He has not left behind him much of this world:s goods: but nevertheless, he has left to his wife and children the richest of all legacies, namely: a sterling Christian character. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold. Having lived a Christian life and died a Christian death, we will, with faith in Jesus Christ put away this body which has fallen asleep until the morning of tbo resurrection. AMUSEMENTS. ENGLISH S AROUND THE WORLD IN FIGHTT DAYS. W. J. Fleming's company appeared at English's Opera-house last night, before a large audience, presenting a dramitization of Jules Vernes's Around the World in Eighty Days." The company is not particularly :ood, and the accessories are not of a quality requisite to a creditable presentation of a play of thU character. There ia no ballet, but instead is substituted an Amazon march, the members made np from local talent Individually considered, the company is mediocre, and collectively it is worse. Be it said, however, that the audience seemed pleased, and bestowed frequent applause. In ''Around the World" there is presented such a continnation 1 mishaps and adventures, in which the leading characters figure, as to bold the interest of the audience, and that of last night was passably satisfied., SIUSEUM LOTTIB CHURCH IN "UNKNOWN." Miss Lottie Church bgan a week's engage ment at the Museum yesterday, and the inter esting performances given by her and her com pany indicate a continuation of the large crowds who fill this popular plaee of amusement "Unknown" was presented, and the exciting situations and sensational climaxes caused the performance to be received with much enthus iasm. Miss Church showed herself to be a ca pable and intelligent actress, and her company has evidently been carefully selected. Mr. E. L. Soader played the part of Harold Merribjrlzht (tne unknown- witn xorce ana aramauoeaesuveness. The scenic effects were picturesque. "Unknown" will be given, again this and to-mor row af ternooDS and evenings, and during tbe re mainder of the week Miss Church will appear in her new sensational play "The River Pirates." THE CASINO'S SECOND WEEK. The success that attended the first week of the Casino seems likely to continue. There was only standing room last night when the performance began, and the people seemed to be delighted with the entertainment The programme of this week is more attractive than that of last In the curiosity department the "Transparent Turk" attracts much attention. U ae Lapland eirl. the fire king, the educated pig have been added to tbe attractions exhibited last week. Several new performers appear m the circus ring, including Prof. Weltzman, the "Wire King," W. C. Manning, the one-legged gymnast, and others. There will be no change or pro gramme this week. There aro two performances daily, afternoon and evening. NOTES. During the performance at English's last night one of the supers, in spreading a carpet, laid one edge too near the footlights, and it caught fire. Mr. Frank RawJs, Assistant Clerk of the House, was present in one of the stage boxes with a party of ladies, and gallantly jumped over onto tbe stage and extinguished the blaze, amid great applause irom tne memners or the Legislature, who chanced to be present and from the small boys in tbe gallery. Miss Genevieve Ward and Mr. W. H. Vernon will appear at English's the latter part of the week in "Forgat-Me-Not" and "Queen's Favorite." Theater-goers here will remember Miss Ward's admirable impersonation of Stephanie in the first-named play. The other is reputed to be a particularly bright and entertaining comedy. Mr. Vernon, who is starring jointly with her, is an English actor of fine reputation. "Forget-Me-Not" gives tbe star opportunities for tbe dia play of elegant tonete. . Mr. and Mrs. W. l. ilorence wiii begin a. brief engagement at the Grand to-night, appearing in their great success, "The Mighty Dollar, which they have played more than thir ty-six hundred times. Mr. Florences lion Bardwell Slote, is one of the most artistic and amusing impersonations of the stage, and the exciting experiences of this distinguished mem ber of Congress "from the Cohosh deestrict" will be found of particular interest here at thus time. To-morrow night the Florence will appear in their , new comedy. "Our Governor, or His Little Hatchet" in which they present two very amusing characterizations. foetponeioent of MeCabe Trial. . Tha condition of William Petersen, who was assaulted by John McCabe on Saturd ay night, was much improved yesterday, and hia physi cian thinks there is no doubt of his recovery. McCabe was before the Mayor, yesterday morning, but in order to see what the effect of the woand would bet the preliminary hearing waa ostponed until to-day. McCabe's bond was fixed at $1,000, and failing to secure bondsmen, he was committed to jail. - Presentation off! Portrait The oil portrait of Major Anderson, life size, in ad by R. B. Gruelle, artist, was formally predated to Maj. Anderson Post, G. A. Iu, last evening. Prof. Hubert J. Sch on acker made the presentation speech in behalf of the committee. The pain and misery suffered by those who are afflicted with dyspepsia are indescribable. The relief whkh is given by Hood's Sarsaparilla has caused thousands to be tbankf nl for this great medicine. It dispels the causes of dyspepsia, and tones up the digestive organs.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT SALADS.

Mrs. Erama Ewing's Explanation Testerday of Her Method of Making Them. The lecture cm salad-making yesterday, by Mrs. Emma Ewing, at Plymouth Church, was heard by a muc'i larger class than any previous lesson, and great interest was manifested by all present Nearly every known edible, says Mrs. Ewing, may be compounded into a salad lettuee, celery, cabbage, potatoes, onions and all sorts of vegetables, fruits, "meats, fish, shell-fish, poultry and game. These all, combined with something or alone, make appropriate foundations for delicious salads. Having snch an abundance of material to work upon, it is neces sary to bave soma raner&l rnla to observe. All well-regulated dinner tables are incomplete without salads. By having them on the table you can dispense with pickles, mustard and all sueh things as are sharp to the taste but not so pleasant or delicate as a salad. However, never serve meat chick An or fish -naiad &a a separate course or with hearty dinner. It is not hvffienic If a salad delicately made and of light material, it is very hygienic, mainly because relished by nearly every one, but "we have all," Bays Mrs. .awing, not quite the hieh appreciation or a 6alad as Sidney Smith nsed to have: for it is said that he once remarked that b wonld turn bacls on hia way to paradise if there was an opportunity to get his fingers in a salad bowl." Some materials need oil or some strong flavor to develop the finer flavors of the thine to be dressed. Chicken needs a rich dressins of olive oil. Others it is necessary to tone down, such as lobsters, which require a dressing with a good deal of cream and mustard in them. "We have the general rule." said Mrs. Ewine. "for making dressings, and these are to be added to and taken from as our own taste and judgment dictate and the material will allow." ior chicKen-salad Mrs, Ewine nrefers an old hen three years old is the best aze. Her method of washing a chicken is to take a cloth, wet in water with a little soda in it and scrub the skin. It will bo sumrisiner to see the dirt that actuallv comas off from the fowl. It should not be cooked in a great quantity of water, but just enough to let it steam or sim mer until it is well cooked, and then nut it in a bowl and pour the liquor over. When cold, pull to pieces and use all the tender parts; some of the dark meat is as tender as the white. Here Mrs. Ewing gave an illustration of the beBt method of cutting up the chicken and celery preparatory to dressing it She says putting it in a hash-bowl is barbarous treatment to the salad. She uses an pcrual nronortion of celery to chicken, if for a supper or lunch, but if for a dinner, mainly celery. For dressing the chicken-salad, no sharp acid is needed to kill the flavors of chicken and celery, but a dressing of oil is considered the best For those who dislike the. flavor of oil, a cream dressing may be served. These suggestions were illustrated in a simple and comprehensive wav to the class. Cold slaw, potato-salad, chicken-salad, the latter with both dressings over it, were tastefully and pleasingly garnished and served to the class. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Ewing will teach the ladies how to roast meats and poultry. Pre ceding the roasting lesson there will be taught what the cooking school considers the best method of making coffee. WASHED EACH OTHER'S FEET. The Strange Religious Ceremony Performed bj Mrs. Woodworth's Converted Sinners. One feature of Mrs. Woodworth's closing meeting on Sunday night was the washing of feet If the souls of those who were converted were as opposite to white as were their pedal extremities, Jordan must have resembled Pogue's run. The feet-washing operation was inducted by the hoarse-voiced choir and attenuated pray ers, and also by Mrs. Woodworth herself, Tha rite was unattended bv any demonstration of applause from the audience which filled the church, and the order maintained was tbe best yet. After the ceremony of the foot-tub pro cess, Mrs. Woodworth delivered her long-ex peeted farewell, which complained of th illtreatment she bad received here from churchmembers. Mrs. Woodworth, until the middle of the week. will inflict the inhabitants of Anderson with cat alepsy, after which she will experiment on Greensburg. She also intends to again visit In dianapolis, in June next, when she will prolong her stay. A Girl Convicted of Stealing-. Last November Mrs. Mary Sprague, of Eugene, Ind., came to tbe city on a shopping tour. She was at the Union Depot waiting for the 11 o'clock night train, when she missed her pocket-book. containing $27 and a gold ring. The only person who had been sitting near her was Anna Foster a blonde of seventeen years. The depot policemen accused her of taking the pocket-book, and after she had gone out on the street they found it where she had been standing only a few min utes before. Miss Foster, who has'been in jail since, naa ner trial yesterday before Judge Irvin. She was found guilty, but the Judge re served his sentence until to-day. When the trial was over Mrs. Sprague, the prosecuting witness, went to Judge Irvin and begged him to show the girl as much leniency as possible. Miss Foster's home is at Franklin, and she was in the city on a vieit when arrested. The Military Fair and Carnival. The lady friends of the several companies in terested in the grand military fair and carnival will meet to-morrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock, in the City Council chamber to perfeet the organi zation of their committees and complete the ar rangement of their programme. Major J. R. Ross has the tickets for the fair now ready for distribution to those interested and they may be had on application at his place of business, No. 129 South Meridian street Word has been re ceived from Kokorao Division, Uniformed Rank, & of P., that they will be here with fifty members in uniform to open the ball, and that at least ten coaches filled with their friends will ac company them. They promise, if this is not "sufficient, to bring down the entire town and everything in it, with the exception of the gas wells.

SOLID FACTS About Dr. Barker, the Oculist and Aurist, 64 East Market Street. On the 7th of December Dr. Barker opened an office at the Denison for the purpose of treating affections of the Eye, Ear. Noso and Throat, adjusting Specta cles and inserting Artificial Eyes, intending to remain but three or four weeks. Hia coining had been her alded by the press of the city, circulars, etc., all bear ing unquestionable evidence of his superior skill and success ia the treatment of those affections, of which he is acknowledged to be the master. Coining to us as a stranger it was but natural that scire should doubt bis assertions and question hia ability. There were those, however, who were suffering from disease and deformities who had doctored and doctored in vain, with little or no prospect of relief, consequently were anxious to test every power of human skill ere they should yield to the belief that there was no help for them. These were the first who called. They told their friends of their success, their friends their, neighbors; the news spread from the city to the country. As a result his practice increased until he found more time, and more commodious quarters and easy of access, necessary to accommodate all applying for treatment Henoe he moved his office from, the Denison to 64 East Market' street, and prolonged his stay until Saturday, Feb. 19. Thus it was tbat the few who determined to test hia claims were the means of dispelling skepticism from the minds of all fairminded people, and the nucleus of what has resulted in a practice unparalleled in the history of this city. While his reputation has been gained by his dexterity as a surgeon, it should be borne in mind that he operates only as a last resort 90 percent of his patients being cured by mild medications. His consultation! aro free and invited. STAY PROLONGED UNTIL Saturday, Feb. 19. u. Blip. i Oculist and Aurist, ' Has removed his office from the Denison to 64 East Market Street, OPPOSITE THE POSTOPPICE, , Where he will be pleased to see any who have affections of the n NEEDING Spectacles or Artificial Eyes. The above portrait represents the result of Dr. Barker's new method of curing Cross Eyes, being a child of Theodore Deitz, 147 East Washington street, one of the best known and most highly esteemed Ger man citizens of this city. Any one can ask him about it. Since coming to Indianapolis ho has had an unpar alleled practice. His patients are living monuments of his unrivaled skill. There is no longer any doubt of his bemsr a master in his profession, using NEW. IMPROVED AND ALMOST PAINLESS METHODS OF TREATMENT, succeeding where other fail. . CATARACT andCROSS EYES Positively cured in a few minutes by a new and almost painloss method. Children should be cured while young. Sore Eyes, Granular Lids, Weak, Watery Eyes, Nasal Catarrh.
