MR. and MRS. H. E. Lingerfield and MISS C. E. SWEITZER EXPERT OPTICIANS of Dayton, Ohio, Will be in Decatur at Burt House, Wednesday May 4, and remain one week or until Wednesday, May 11. — Giving Free Examination of the Eyes. No One Urged to Buy Prices Reasonable - ‘ Headache Knocked |sky High by the Use of the Celebrated Crysto Vitrine Lens Retetnscopic Tests Given in Critical Cases Have Successfully Fitted 892 People in Van Wert I with Glasses and Overcome 225 Cases of Headache. I I During the past three years these ( Opticians correctly fitted the number | of glasses mentioned in towns below: f Fitted 271 people in Springfield; 708 ] in Urbana; over 500 people in Xenia; t over 800 people in Troy: 282 people in | Piqua; 168 people in Sindey; 195 t people in Greenville: 228 people in a Eaton; over 900 people in Wilmington; fi over 1000 people in Lancaster; 860 f people in Circleville; 750 people in e

Washington C. H.; 400 people in Chilicot he: and over 500 Jpeople in Lebanon, Ohio. <Or W 5 * i About ninety-nine out of every hundred persons receiving medical treatment for nervousness, stomach trouble, headache and what they supposed to be neuralgia, are afflicted with defective eyesight and nothing more. An astigmatic eye most invariable causes aches and pains and nausa of the stomach of a kind that is very misleading to the sufferer and deceiving to the physicians in diagnosing unless the physician has special knowledge and experience in the art of fitting glasses. Astigmatic headache usually begins with shooting pains in the ba ek of the eyes, finely reaching the top of the head, extending down the back of the neck into the shoulders, and frequently effects the spine to the extent that physicians often diagnose such a case of spiual trouble. Other symptoms of astigmatism are

a sensation of hair pulling, a tender n or of the scalp, and rtiz-1 zioess, especially uj»on a sudden turning of the head. Those who suffer with a slight degree of astigmatism experience much trouble in reading or dob:g close work longer than thirty minutes without the vision bluring, or type running together or mixing more or less, causing excessive winking or watering of the eye. with perhaps a slight inflatnatory cooditi n of the lids and a bloodshot eyeball. All of these troubles can be entirely overcome bv the wearing of properly corrected glasses, without medical treatment. If vou are troubled with any of the following symptoms, call at once and receive a free examination: Headache—sensation of hair pull ing. chilly, creepy feeling extending d >wn the back of the head, neck and shoulders. Aches over the eye or severe shooting pains in the eye, with often a nauseating feeling of the stomach when turning the head suddenly. Trembling spells, nervousness, excessive winking and watering of the eyes, with often a slight intlamatory condition. Bluring, mixing and coming together of letters, with often sudden attacks of sleepiness.

TO PARENTS

Os Van Vert County, Mrs. Wm. Heath, Vho Lives Five Mlles South of Ohio Citv, Soys: i , 1 wish to tell through the papers 1 what Mr. and Mrs Ltngerfield did for : my daughter, Nancy, whois ten years old. Ever since she had the whoop-1' ing cough, which was about four rears ago. she has complained of constant pain in her head and eyes. I got glasses for her but they wen not satis-1 factory. During the past year her' troubles grew worse very rapidly as' the constant pains and aches i n her

heaii and eves wore almost unbear-1 able, which was affecting her u«rvnua system quit* preceptiblv. I was afraid she could not continue her studies at school, as she would only stu Iv a few minutes at a time, owing to t i* sharp pains which would shift to the back part of her head, neck and sh udders. J read quite a good deal about Mr. and Mrs Lingerfield’s work on the eve. So finally I bad them tit her with glasses

w hich have overcome her troubles al- | together, as she can now study with ; all ease; and has done so for hours at . a time since using the glasses. She is 'quite proud of them and wears them I all the time. In consideration of my experience I think it proper of me to warn parents to be more interested in their children’s eyes, and have them looked after upon the first complaint of the child, and | thus avoid ruining the child’s eyes and ■ health. ________ HEADACHE. Nervousness and Stomach Trouble All Overcome, Miss Emma Fortney. Who Lives One and One-fourth Mile East of Dixon, Van Wert, County, Ohio, Says: “Who doesnot know the excruciating pain of sick or nervous headache? The throbbing, aching, wearing pain

; which makes the sufferer think life is i uot worth living.” Nearly everybody I at sometime has had experience with i this distressing malady, and the poor I victims are only apt to seek relief in any remedy afforded .{which has surely been my experience, as I have taken every recommended remedy to get relief from above affliction. I have doctored with specialists for nervous troubles, also for stomach trouble as I would become deathly sick at my stomach, but my efforts for relief were baffled in each case My condition seemed to grow for the worse, and of late. I have been most wonderfully discouraged. as it seemed my affliction had baffled all medical skill and that I must subject myself to daily headaches and nervousness. As a final resort I consulted Mr. and Mrs. Lingerfield, who, upon an examination of my eyes, said they could overcome all the

headachesand nervousness. Well.it is useless to say I had but little faith in their assertions, as I had been disappointed in so many instances. But I was willing to try, and in regard to results I can most emphatically say that such has been the case to my great surprise, for not in a single instance have I experienced a single ache or pain in my head or nausea of the stomach. Indeed, one seems like a renewed being to be free from these terrible headaches and nervous spells. Consequently. I consider the result obtained in mv behalf a blessihg to me and am very grateful to these jieople for overcoming my troubles, and I, for one. most willingly stand ready to testify to their proficiency in correcting headache and nervousness and stomach troubles.

Mrs. Judge W. H. Mozier. of Van Wert, Ohio, Says: It is surely with a degree of safety and surety that I can express the words of praise of the proficiency and skill of Mr. and Mrs. Lingerfield in the art of fitting glasses, owing to the satisfactory manner in which they have overcome my defect in my distant vision, which had become very annoying owing to the indistinctness of sight, which defect produced a constant strain on the nerves —thereby weakening my eloseby vision. Subsequently through appreciation of benefits received. I make mention of the above facts.

Bright Light Caused Eyes to Pain and Water. Mrs. Wise, wife of L. H. Wise, the County Commissioner, of Van Wert county, says. It is in a sense of the most profound appreciation that I am prompted to speak in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Lingerfield, the Opticians. For sometime I have been greatly annoyed with pains in mveyes. especially when in a bright light; also a watering of the eyes, which was quite unpleasant. Thereby inasmuch as these afflictions have been overcome, I think all eye sufferers should avail the opportunity of consulting them while in our city.

Mr. F. Seigel, One of Miami County's Farmers, Who purchesed the old Fronefield farm, four and one-half miles southwest of Van Wert, Ohio, says: I have heard quite a good deal of Mr and Mrs. Lingerfield as Opticians, who fitted many of my friends with glasses during their stay at Troy, 0., and at their Dayton home office, and also in regard to the successful manner they fitted my eyes. I feel quite safe in recommending them to all mv neighbors and friends as thoroughly competent people, and trust that all who suffer of headache and defective vision will consult them and be benefited, as many others have been, by their skill and knowledge of the eye.

Mr. and Mrs. Lingerfield have the most perfect equipped and handsomely furnished optical parlors in the State of Ohio, which are located in the New Arcade. Dayton, Ohio. During th.- pa-t fourteen years, lieing assisted by their staff of opticians, they have fitted suecesefuly forty three thousand , People in the State of Ohio. Mr. and < Mrs. Lingerfield are manufacturing i opticians also. They employ none but experts to grind their lenses, which are 'ow"inabt' n ‘ b '’ maU ’ rial

iUm . guaranteed to lie of the most perfect and accurate curva t ires, l highly polished aDfl * rf perfectly focused. Mr »iii M„ r gerfield have fourteen towns they Visß tw eea year and they intend to include Decatur in their circuit. all lenses are warranted for two years, any change is made gratis during said time.
