HESEESAGAN WITH EYE BLND FOR OUR YEARS John Markle, Millionaire Coal Operator, Now Reads Fine Print With Ease. WALKS WITHOUT GUIDE. One ‘Marvellous Feature Is That Cure Was Effected Without an Operation. “ight in my left eye has been per- @anently restored, but only for the Benefit of others am I willing to tell you about my wonderful cure for I don't Uke notoriet: to-day declared John Markie, a millionaire mine owner just feturned from Europe as he proudly Gemonsirated hie recovery by leading a Feporter from The Hvening World from Before the office desk through @ maze of chairs t@ @ distant sofe in the rotunda of the Hotel Plasa. Before Mr. Markie went to a private @inic of Dr, Herman lagenstecher in ‘Wiesbaden, Germany, for treatment four eare Bgo, he was dependent upon the piloting ef @ muree in constant at- Qendanve upon hin. Other specialists had given him up ae incurable, and he ‘was about reconciled to end his days in Garkness es 414 Charles Broadway Bouss. ‘On Aug. %, 1901, I had lost the sight of my right eye entimly through e de- (ached retina, and my left eye was going rapidly,” continued Mr. Markle “Thank God, up to that time the epe- eialists I had consulted had not touched my left eye. It was my one chance, I have since ascertained. Early in the! Bpring of 1908, when I had seen whet I believed was my last of life and color, John H. Harjes, the varis partner of J. Pierpont Morgan advised me to £0 to the famous Wiesbaden ~vectalis' BACK EACH SPRING 7OR THE ATTENTION OF SPECIALIST. “Rach successive spring I have been ack for a three-montns’ treatment. Al- together I have twen directly under the! attention of the specialist in his private) ay clinic for twelve months. 1 was di charged as absolutely cured more than @ month ago, I was told that I need not come back next spring. But my cure was nothing compared with others I know of.” Asked to tell of these other cures Mr. Markle said: “A poor and elderly woman from Michigan who had not seen daylight for thirty-six years was in Attendance at the clinic in 1908, Her sight -was ‘completely restored. Her vision, I understand, !s still perfect, Another case was that of an old gentie- man who had a hemorrhage back of both retinas, The blood was drained out, and he !s now able to read and write, but he will not be able to get Absolute vision again, He was quite overjoyed to get a Imited viston.’ Mr. Markle said that the feature of the Wiesbaden clinfe is that no experi- mentation is necessary because of the vast previous experience of ‘ts head, who 1s a modest man of sixty-. x years with a son thirty years old. A brother of Prof. Pagonstecher, who 1s dead, established tha clinic, and for a great many years the two men worked to- gether. There were patients there, ac- cording to Mr. Markle from as far off es India. “In the whole course of the treat- ment never once did the German spec- falist nor his son touch my eye,” he continued, “I was cured through my system. After an examination I was told that my blindness was due to a want of nourishment of the interfor of my eye brought on by overwork, Through the pores of the skin all over my body I was made well—sweating and the application of lotions being the means whereby I regained strength in my left eye.” READS WITH EASE NOW FROM | women who don't cro: THE Hints RVENING WORLD, MONDAY, SEPTRMRER Mt, YT. io Husbands Whereby They May Avoid PKIIPPINEHERO — 30 GOVERNORS Many of the Pitfalls Incident to Matrimony) GOESTOPRISON . MEET TO-MORROW But Beware of the Professional Adviser, Whose Maxims Are Sometimes Foolish aud Mislead- ing and Would Only Result in Trouble if Carried Out. BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. For years a iarge number of confirmed bachelor women and of hardy aver-blooming widows of every species have made very comfortable livings by giving advice to wives. How to win @ husband; how to xeep to writing plays, 1s still the burden of many articles. Meanwhile the husbands nave languished unadvised. Without either coaches, seconds or even a manual of training, they undertake the most serious of respon- sibilities, the most difficult of games. Is it a watter for surprise that they fail so often? is it any wonder that a compassionate fellowman, perceiving their need of counsel, should have undertaken to supply it? Edward Tuckerman Mason is the name ot the aew philanthropist who contributes “Hints to the Average Husband” to the Pictorial Review this month. Perhaps many women won't agree with Mr. Mason’s recommenda- tions, of which the first fs thi! “Bho is better than you are, and therefore your attitude toward her ought to be that of admiration and of reverence.” As a matter of fact, few women in thie generation enjoy the “holler than thou” attitude, which was such a solace to our poor, dear great-grandmothers, when their husbands got drunk or made eyes at the housemati. ‘We do not feel for the most part that we are so much better than men, and I don't think we care for the hypo- critica! assumption of a mora! and spir- ftual superiority, which was invented for man's benefit rather than for our own. If I were going to advise a hus band along the lines followed by Mr. Mason, I would say: TREAT HER AS AN EQUAL AT ALL TIMES. “She ts, or should be, your equal. ‘Treat her as such, with respect, with frankness. Tell her the truth that one equal tells another.” Men Ue through fear or through contempt. ‘The sort of | man who considers it humorous to le to a woman {s stunted spiritually. And the barroom pastime of “comparing notes" about wives, which a certain type of man indulges, is worse than @ crime—a hideous vulgarity. Forbear criticism, which 1s almost s irritating and 1s generally use- Jess," is the second injunction in the new “hints to husbands.” “Selous vices sometimes cause less trouble in a household than ts wrought by the habitual fault-finding of a can- tankerous man.” | It 1s doubtful tf this rule could be| realize that lying does not seem to her improved upon, The Ine which @j.|2¥Morous, nor infidelity manly. vides criticism from nagging is very FEophaitd tte ee — LD tibacher | Mennen whe’ deni creas it when they) that the trouble with New York mar- domestic. ree| ses 18 that too many married men are “ex-bachelors” instead of husbands. And too many of them go back after marriage to take a post-graduate course and win new degrees, Perhaps the best rule of all is embodied in the Magls- trate's suggestion: Be a husband—not merely an ex-bach- elor.
