    READ THE OTHER SIDE FIRST.
fin the Treatment of the EAR AND EYE, and the other organs of sense, it becomes necessary to have a good knowledge of
«everything pertaining to Medicine and Surgery. What are called regular Physicians may have graduated in either the old
«or the new school College, and can boast of a one sided edueation. Dr. Jones has had a thorough education in both the old and the new
school medical coleges, and of an Eye and Ear College, andin the Eye and Ear Infirmaries and Hospitals of America and
Europe, and Lis Diplomas from the same hang in his office. Jt is impossible for a physician who has but the usual medical
education, to successfully treat the Eye and Ear. Therefore, Dr. Jones has availed himself .of all the advantages the world
affords to fit himself for his natural and chosen profession, and of his suceessthe reader may judge by the following testimonials.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH BY Dx. JONES.
1st. Of the head—Tingling, itching, with sense of dryness and obstruo-
“tien of the nose, sneezing, running of a watery secretion; as it progresses
«the secretion becomes mucus, entire obsiruetion of one er both nostrils,
hawking, tickling of the throat, coughing, &c. 2. Catarrh of the Chest—
A LETTER ON CATARACT BY DR. JONES.
By the majority of mankind, Cataract is supposed to be seated on the sur-
: face of the ball or outside of the eye, but it is within, near the middle of the
: ball, and is an opacity of the cryste inedens or fens or of both. The
- crystalline lens is the size of an ordimarysbean,.double convex, held in the
esntre of the eye by ligaments. In its natural condition, it is perfect]
i'transparent, so that the rays of light which are admitted through the pupil
must ard do pass through it before they can reach the optic nerve and its
fibres, which enter the eyeball from the (posterior) back part of the eye; and
when this crystalline lense loses its transparency—as it does in that condition
of the eye called Cataract—then the rays of light cannot pass through it,
hence blindness of the eye must be the sequence.
Cataract may appear suddenly, but genegally comes on,gradually—the
patient first begins to see things indistinctly, then objects assume a smoky
appearance ; then things leak cloudy; finally the opacity of the lens be-
comes complete, and quite all the light is excluded from the sense of vision,
and the patient is blind. ;This may come to pass in one eye or both. When
one eye becomes blind frem this cause, the other is apt to take on the same
condition. CAusEs.—Many persons have a taint in the blood which pro-
duces Cataract (a peculiar diathesis); it is caused by mechanical injuries of
various kinds; it is caused by the injudicious and ignorant use of drugs ap-
plied to the eye by old women and their followers; it is produced every day
by old fogies, charlatans, and other similar persons who style themselves
Doctors ; and even some good family physicians, without a knowledge of
the anatomy of the eye, with more temerity than science, apply nitrate .of
silver, and many other remedies equally as injurious, which may not only
produce cataract, but generally leaves the cornea nebulous, causes the tunics
to adhere, leaves specks cn the eye, blunts the conjunctive, produces (by
perthropy) thickening of the lining membrane. We can cure cataract :
some cases by absorbents; other cases require an operation, whieh we per- °
-form inside of two minutes, and with no more pain than the pricking of a
pin. Specks on the eye. are the result of inflamation of the muoous mem-
brane, and the usual severe remedies applied to cure it. Qur method of re-

La is the result. The disease follows the mucus, membrane- through the
