LOST EYESIGHT
Through Coffee Drinking ' )1
Some people question the atatcments 1
that correa hurts the dellcato nerves' '
of the body. Personal experlenco wIth
thousands proves the general statement -
ment true and physicians have records
of great numbers or cases that add to
the testimony.
The fo11owlng Is from the Rockford ,
m. . Reglster.Gazette :
Dr. Wl1Ilam L.1.llghorst of Aurora
has been trentlng one of the queerest
cases of lost oyeslght ever In hIBtor ' .
The patient Is O. A. Leach of Deach
county , and In the last four months he
had doctored with a11 or the specialists
about the country nI\l has at last reo
turned homo with the fact Impressed
on hIs mind thnt his case Is Incurable.
A portion of the optIc nerve has
been ruIned , ronderlng his sIght so
Jlmlted that ho Is unable to see nny.
tblng before him. but he can see plaIn.
11 aD7thin at the sldo of hIm. There ,
.
have been but few cases or its kInd
before. and they have been caused by
whlsly or tobacco. Leach has never
used either , but hns been a great coffee -
fee drlnleer , amI the sIleclallsls have
decIded that the case has been cnused
.
by thIs. Leach stated himself that.
for several yeara ho had drank three
cups of correo for hrealeCast , two nt
noon und ono at ulglIt. According to
the records of the specialists or this
country this Is the first case ever
caused llY the use of cortee.
The nerve Is ruined be'ond aId nnd
hIs cnse Is incuruble. The fact that
1I1alees the cnse a queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost nnd the
side sight has becn retained. Accord.
Ing to the doctor's statement. the
young man will have to Slvo up coffee -
fee or the rest or his sIght will fol.
low and the entire nerve be rulned.-

Let It bo remembered that the eyes
may be nttacked In one case and the
stomnch In another , while in others It.
