Weather Forecast. Continued wa me and generally fair tonight and Wednesday, excepting probably local showtrs. OPHTHALMOLOGIST. One Who Understands the Eyes, Their Defects, Their Relation to Human Ills and How to Relieve Them. Are you nervous? If so, there is a leak in your storage battery. It is located in the brain, and the electricity is called nerve force. If you have worked it overtime, either foolishly or from necessity, the result is just the same. The leak must be stopped and the supply restored to normal. I know how to do both if the trouble comes from your eyes. Few know the capacity of defective eyes to disturb the equilibrium of the nervous system. Do you know that of forty-three pairs of nerves supplying the entire body four and one-third pairs, onetenth *f the entire number go to the eyes, thus to make trouble or conduce to comfort ? Do you know that good vision is absolutely no proof that eyes are good? Manv readers of this article can see perfectly, but they suffer from nervous ills of one kind or another and never think their eyes are the cause of it all. As a matter of truth 90 per cent of eye troubles and a large per cent of all nerve derangements are not diseases at all, but simply symptoms of an underlying cause and that cause is Hyperopia, of which the commonest complaints are headache, indigestion, mental irritation, cross-eyes, etc. Other defects are astigmatism, in its various forms and myopia. TO MEN You pay the bills and have manv other duties to yourselves and families. You should know the difference between functional derangements and diseases. Don’t let wife and children take deadly headache powders, don't let them suffer, don't spend your money haphazard. TO WOMEN Are you well; if not ask yourself these questions: What is my trouble? CXiuld it come from my eyes? How long have I suffered? How much have I suffered? What have I done to relieve myself? Why am I not well?

“Simply removing the cause is the secret.” WE HAVE NO SECRETS to keep from you. Ours is a plain propose tion; we get results satisfactory to us and those who place themselves in our care. Don’t confound me with peddlers, amateur opticians and fakes whose only aim and knowledge is “to sell glasses."
