A remarkable ooenrreuce of the
month of iuestimeble service to the
cause of osteopathy took place May 3 in
Washington D 0., where Thomee 8key-
hill, one of the Australian Auzaoe, who
have been touring the country in behalf
of the Liberty Loan cud the Red Cross
and, who has been blind for miserly a
year and a half; had hie sight restored
by an osteopathic operation performed
at the offices of Drs. Kettles and
Moore.
