GOOD NEWS FOR THE BLIND ! 
D R. KNAPP, Occulist, at 493 Broadway, Albany, N. Y., attends 
exclusively to cases of Blindness, from 9 to 5 o'clock. His 
method of restoring sight is of recent discovery, and the results 
have proved that where a person can distinguish day from night, a 
reasonable hope of recovery may be entertained. The treatment 
is without an operation. 
On application, either verbal or by letter, persons will be desig¬ 
nated (residents of Albany) who from being unable to discern any 
object, some for more than thiriy years, (taken blind during infan¬ 
cy,) can now, after treatment, see to walk alone, and see articles 
as small as a silver pencil. 
Those interested will consult the highest good ot the Blind by giv- 
ing such attention to the above as its nature merits. 
P. S. Fluid Cataracts removed without an operation.
