An Affection of the Chest Was the Cause of His Loss of Sight-- Things Look Different. Montreal, Oct. 25.--Joseph Brunet, of this city, states that he has recov- ered his eyesight after having been blind for nineteen years. Brunet, a vigorous looking fellow about forty- five years, was undergoing treatment in the Hotel Dieu, when a young man, when he suddenly 'went blind. He con- sulted oculists without avail. For the past six years he lived with a cousin and found his way about the city with a cane, depending on the kindness of the public to help him over crossings. A year ago he heard that his bro- ther, who was also blind, had been cured by Dr. Grandpre, Valleyfield. The doctor found that an affection of the chest was the cause of his blind- ness. Brunet went. to Valleyfield and implored the doctor to treat him. The doctor understood the case and a month ago Brunet was so far recov- ed as to be able to read print, and now he says he can thread a fine nee- dle. The sights he sees fills him with wonder, for the colors of nature and the appearance of trees, etc., are dif- ferent from the impression he retained from the days hefore he became blind.
