ABOUT EYE TROUBLES
Remember that for 14 years I have been in daily practice
as a Specialist in Expert Examinations and Testing of the
Eyes and the fitting of correct Glasses for the Relief of Eyes
EYE STRAIN-HEADACHES!
Eye Strain is the cause of 85 per cent of the Headaches. Why suffer,
from those nerve-racking pains when relief may be had with properly
fitted glasses.' This is worth your attention. Early investiffation' may
save you days of suffering. I offer you the best in optical service.
Thousand's of Casses Have Been Successfully Fitted by Me
I tfive special' attention to the testing and examination of School Child
ren 8 Eyes. And remember that sometimes children have had eyes
just as they have had teeth and other troubles. Children examined
free if accompained by parents.
