LOST EYESIG

Through Coffee Drinking

HT

Ho-ne fieople question 'he statements that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of the body. Pereoaal eaperlenoa wttb thousands proves tho general statemenl true and phyalciana have records -1 greal avaiberi of eafe:j that add to tho testimony. The following Is from the Rovkford, 111 . Reclster-fJazette: Ir, William Langborat of Aurora has been treating one of the queerest rues of lost eyesight ever In history. The patient Is O. A. Ia ai h of Iloarh foini'y. and g tho last four months he had doctored with all of the sjxciallata about the country and has at last returned homo with the fact Impress d on his mind that his rase Is Incurable. A portion of tbe optic nerve has been ruined, rendering his sight o limited that he Is unable to nee anything before him. but he enn see plainly a.vMhing at the side of him. There

Ihewa h""" but fe-w rises of Its kind before, nnd they have been caused ),y wbisky or tobacco. Iaeh has never I used either, but has been a great et ffeo drinker, and tho specialists have I decided that the rase has been caused I by this. Leach stated himself lhat for ,seeral pear Bt had drark Uiree I cuos of rnffeo for breakfast, two at noon and one at night. According to

the reeorda of the Bpectattata of this countr." this is ihe first caae ever caused by the use of roffee. The nerve Is ruined beyond nid and his rase Is IncurabK The fact that makes the rase a queer one Is that the sight forward bag been lost and the

side sight, has been IWttÜjBOaV Accord -big to tho doctor's gtataBkgftf, the , young man will have to give up coffee or the rest of his sight, will fol- . low and the entire nerve be ruined. j Ucgiitcr-UaicltA.
