THE EYE IN THE DARK
THE PERVADING IDEA THAT CATS
AND DOGS
i
See Better at Niflht Than We Is Errone
ous Same Facts that Arc
of Interest
Towaid nightfall ns the light grows
ficnrco and dim the pupil ot Uio e > c In
creases to Its greatest size > o as to catch
and nlisnrb all the rays It possibly can
Thus n > cats cje will grow huge at ditek
aud thoso of the night loilng oivl arc so
mndo op to produce n greater convergence
ot the rays of light so thnt In faint ght
It can distinguish objects clo cr
It Is as great a mistake < o sujjpose thnt
cats can sec In the dark where no llgit l
at it Is to suppose that under the inilu
ctio of pawlou or excitement mans eye
haie the power of emitting light It is im
possible ns has been proi ed bey ond a doubt
by many experiments In utter darkness
True a cats tyes have a wonderful brll
llancy but that Is duo to n carpet of gilt
tiling fibers1 colled Ihc tapeturn
It may be to somn extent In ilrtue ot
this glitter that they possess their alleged
power ot lascluating smnlllilrds and other
cteuturcs though we ceiiiiluly need not
Mipposo that the terror ahd UTflidllty to
moie eiluced by tho Ictlm nre due to the
power nf the eie alone Twff of the ap
pioicblng monster which Instinct tclw
thim 1m hostile to their life Is fully as
pmili7lng as any cjo glitter
Jinny people who suffer from headaches
end seieio pain about the eyes will not
admit any fullute of sight eicpt to siy
that thei can not sec as well iu a poor
light as thev formeily did Dr Seymour
tajs that this In many casrs Is due to uh
unusual contraction of the Iris and that
from his personal observation he has de
tided that the average child with good eyes
can dee much better after dtttk than a
g own person This Is due to the flexibili
ty of the Iris and muscles coutioiling It
thiiSj the pupil of the childs eye dilates
enormously In a dark room This also ex
plains why many a person who has very
defective eyes may be able to stand the
most rigid test by menns of charts etc I
In a well lighted loom and Mill In reality
have very poor eyes jo illustrate this the
doctor suggests that any person knowing
tLpm ehes to be near sighted can proic
this theory of the amnll jiupll overcoming
deficiency of sight by making a very small
hole In a card nnd holding this before the
defected eye The hole should not be more
than a slxtvfourth of an Inch In diameter
and yon will find by holding this clote
tor the eye elo lng the other thht distant
objects enn be seen tint you are unable to
rtlncern without using this method
Why Eyes Vary in Shade
An IntcrrMlng point Is tho cause of the
different shades of coyu wo Be In the
eyes On a certain membrane In the in
terlor nre numerous cells Called pigment
cells When these ure priicnt In > ery
great numbers they produce that deep
black color of some eyes nnd In proportion
to their numbers deciease also the depth
of color till finally a light blue Is reached
In certain ejes these pigment cells do not

and among animals we find n parallel In
the lase of the white labblt and the Mlici
fox which by the y av is a fact not gen

K a rare and valuable sptcles and It is this
phenomenon of the occasional albino Among
their number that accounts for their ex

Dr Seymour of this city does not give
lectures or tct peoples eyes In bulk so
to speak but those who really want to
know whytheir eyes hurt them can learn
VER since the days when people be
lieved somewhere on tho earth there
existed a fountnin of eternal youth
every branch of science has been developed
in tho endeavor to prolong human life In
this wiy tho means havo been discovered
and put into practical use whereby thou
sands of lives which would have otherwise
been lost have been saved Today the
practice of medicine is almost an exact
science Controlling f ci era destroying the
germs of infectious disease while they nre
jn tho blood deadening the nerves by
anesthetics and producing respiration by
artificial moans all go to show what con
trol scienco has over the human functions
Upon the same exact scientific demon
stration tho greatest specific for woman
Wino of Cardui has been developed and
more than a million complete cures bear
Icstiinony to its worth
There is no mys
tery about Wine of Cardui It is a simple
and natural emmenagogue ivhich brings
strength and health to sick nnd suffering
women by regulnting tho disordered men

tho blood is put in perfect order
Mrs Clementine Richmond of Chicago
111 after suffering eight years with ulcer
ation of the womb got relief by taking
Wino of Cardui This medicine stopped
the drains and relieved the blood of tho
poison that was in her system and could
not escape Correct menstrual habits
cleanse the blood but irregular menses both
weaken and poison it Wine of Cardui
cured Mrs Richmonds
troubles by regu
lating menstruation She says
At a specific for female troubles Wine of
Cardui Is rtalnly a superior medicine I
suffered for tight yean with ulceration of
the womb and although my family physU
dan prescribed differtnt remedies and I oied
a number of douches and washes I seemed
only to get worse and finally g Ve up in
despair and decided that health would never
be mine again Fortunately this spring one
of your little books was Jeft at my door and

If such men as Slnjor V 51 Spencer of
