Cure of cataract and other diseases of the eye without operation with cases of cures and testimonials

Historical Significance: Edouard Pomies is identified as an oculist from Paris who, after completing military service as a surgeon in the French Army, migrated to England in 1972 where he established The Ophthalmic Institution (Pomies Treatment) at 32 Euston Square London W1 and later transferred to 41 Fitzroy Square Euston Road London. The booklet describes his treatment by way of ophthalmic powders of vegetable extracts, said to have been first formulated in 1865, which could cure cataract and many other eye conditions without the need for surgery. The booklet appears to have been first published soon after he established his Institution (see Preface). This edition is said to 'leave the writing in its original form'. Chapter III reproduces testimonials, the last dated 1936, so this version of the booklet can dated to 1936 or shortly afterwards. The proprietors at this time were A Wakely and G Benetti (front cover).
