I tried every remedy that my own ex. perienee, and that of my friends, suggested, but our applicatieas were ef no avail. Her ees finally became so ba'd that I was afraid she would lose her eye sight entirely. In this emergency I called upo Dr. P.

I desire, through the columns of your paper, to express my obligations to the Doctor for the skillfil manner in which he treated the patient. Respectfully, W 0. Child.

The Idaho Statesman and the Idaho World U3ed to be principally engaged in a blackguard war with each other, when language was mutually indulged in nearly bad enough for the Salt Lake Tribune. But since the World has ehanged hands both papers have quit this low and senseless tirade, and publish articles for the benefit of their special localities. We make an extract from each on the influence of the local newspaper. After complimenting the Statesman the World says: "With natural resources to back its efforts the local newspaper builds telegraph lines, and railroads, and villages, towns and populous cities spring into existence where it leads. General prosperity everywhere follows ia its wake." And after complimenting the World the Statesman says: "The newspaper men have great responsibilities, and when they work for the general good, do invaluable service for the people, The man who fails to look with favor or hope upon his county newspaper, has no publio interest and scarcely a private interest in the welfare of his neighbors, his family or his country."
