Dr. R. S. Copeland lias just performed a very remarkable operation on the eyes of a man who has been blind for twenty years, with results successful beyond all expectations. The man Is a prominent citizen of the upper peninsula and is now at the hospital.

It has always been supposed that when the vitrius of the posterior chamber of the eye runs out the sight will be destroyed permanently. This was the case of the man who came here to consult Dr. Copeland, who has been making a specialty of opthalmology (sic) for several years and whose ability in this line is unquestioned.

The cure is a very remarkable one and the treatment accorded was very simple, consisting of injections of a salt and water solution, which was given several days when the vitrius began to form and in a week the sight was restored.
