Many bear Witness of Cures Affected The following interview i 3 copied from the Pittsburg Gazette of Sunday, Jan. 11: "The office of Dr. H. F. Garey's Opth alino Oscillator, rooms Nos. 1502 and 1503. Arrott building was crowded yesterday with patients, three of whom entered the office while a Gazette re porter was there, who had had their vision restored and they now go to and fro unassisted. Among them was a young coal miner. Audrey Podobnik, 25 years old, from Luxar, Westmoreland county. When Podobnik was first brought to the office on December 17, 1902, he was blind, and after taking nine treatments sight was restored to him. Poiobnik's bright, alert appear auce was entirely different from his for lorn aspect when he was first led into the office by one of his lodge brothers. Mr. Podobnik still continues treatment. Miss Ella Launblin, of No. 5979 Alder street, East End, was another patient with whom the reporter talked. She could see perfectly well, yet as she told the reporter, for 26 years she had" been practically blind. "Why," said Miss Laugblin," "I could not distinguish the features of my friends and had to be led about. I could see nothing at all with my left eye and the right eye was also of little value. It was turned so far in ward, they tell me, that the cornea was hardly visible and the muscles of the eye-lid were so weak that it drooped away down over the eye. I could bare ly distinguish objects two feet away. Now I can see distinctly for at least a square." Miss Laughlin said the bene ficial effects of the treatment were plain ly apparent to herself and her friends at the sixth application. Miss Kate McFarlane, of No. 5 Saturn street, Allegheny, is also delighted with the restoration of her sight effected by the Ophthalmo Oscillator. "Do you know." said she, "my eyes were so frightfully crossed that people passed remarks about them. I had been cross eyed 13 years, the result of a fright when I was four years old. About eight years ago I had an operation performed on my right eye and became unable to see anything at all with it and the re sult and strain on the other eye was so terrific that I was almost oonstantly af flicted with bad headaches. After tak ing 20 treatments with the Ophthalmo Oscillator I have had ro headache and can see perfectly with my right eye,and my eyes have become so" straight that my friends are surprised at my altered appearance.''
