Honey for Sorb Eyes. — A neighbor of mine had inflammation in his 

 eyes. He tried many things and many physicians; was nothing better, but 

 rather grew worse, until he waa arlmost entirely blind. His family was 

 sick, and I presented him with a pail of honey. What they did not eat he 

 put in his eyes, a. drop or two in each eye two or three times a, day. In 

 three months' time he was able to read coarse print, and after four months' 

 use his eyes were almost as good as ever. I have also found honey good 

 for common cold-sore eyes. — S. G. Perry.
