A, ■■ ' ( About ninety-nine our of every hun i 4 red persons receiving medical treat- I ment for nervousness, stomach trouble. ; headache and what thev supposeci to i

be neuralgia, are afflicted with defec-! live eyesight and nothing more. | J li An astigmatic eye most invariable causes aches and pains and uausa of the stomach of a kind that is very misleading to the sufferer and deceiv- ‘ lag to the physicians in diagnosing ’ unless the physician has special knowl- ’ edge and experience in the art of tit- ’ King glasses. Astigmatic heada 'he usually begins '. ■with shooting pains in the back of the 1 eyes, finely reaching the top of the ' Lead, extending du.vn the back of the ’ »’.a*k into the shoulders, and frequent- ‘ 1 effects the spine to the extent that 1 p ry-i -i ms often diagnose such a case ’ oC spinal trouble. ’ 'Oth-r symptoms f astigmatism are 1 a -.e'.sation of hair pilliug, a tender- •' ness or soreness of the scalp, and dizz.ia ss, especially upon a sudden turning of the head. Those who suffer with a slight degree of astigmatism experience much tr mble in reading or doi..gelose 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 inflamatory condition of the lids and a bloodshot eyeball. All of these troubles can be entirely overcome by the wearing of properly [ corrected glasses, without medical | treatment. If you are troubled with any of the , following symptoms, call at once and ; a free examination: Headache sensation of hair pulling, chilly, creepy feeling extending •down 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, ex-

csessive winking and watering of the eyw, with often a slight inflamatory condition. Bluring, mixing and coming to gether of letters, with often sudden attacks of sleepiness. TO PARENTS Os Van Wert County, Mrs. Win. Heath, Who Lives Five Miles South of Ohio Citv, Soys: 1 wish to tell through the papers what Mr. and Mrs. Lingerfield did for osy daughter, Nancy, who is ten years old. Ever since she had the whoop lag cough, which was about four years 1 ago, she has complained of constant pain in her head and eyes. I got for her but they were not satin actory. During the past year her troubles grew worse very rapidly as the constant pains and aches in her head and eyes were almost unbearable, which was affecting her nervous system quite preceptibiv. 1 was afraid she could not continue her studies at echool, as she would only study a few minutes at a time, owing to the sharp pains which would shift to the back part of her head, neck and shoulders, f read quiteagood deal aljout Mr. and Mrs. Lingerlield’s work on the eye. So

finally I had them fit her with glasses which 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 all the time. In consideration of my experience I 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. l i 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 does not know the excruciating pain of sick or nervous headache? | The throbbing, aching, wearing pain I which makes the sufferer think life is ! not worth living.” Nearly everybody | at sometime has had experience with I this distressing malady, and the poor | victims are only apt to seek relief in 1 any remedy afforded.Jwhich has surely j been my experience, as I have taken

I every recommended remedy to get re- ' lief from above affliction. I havedoc- ! tored with specialists for nervous ■ troubles, also for stomach trouble as I j 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 ray affliction ! had baffled all medical skill and that I j must subject myself to daily head- I aches and nervousness. As a final re- ■ sort I consulted Mr. and Mrs. Linger- i ! Held, who, upon an examination of my I eyes, said they could overcome all the I I headaches and nervousness. Well, it I iis useless to say I had but little faith ’ I in their assertions, as I had been dis- 1 appointed in so many instances. But j I was willing to try, and in regard to I 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 my behalf a blessihg to me and am very grateful to these people 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 closeby 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 1 county, says. It is in a sense of the most profound I appreciation that I am prompted to speak in liehalfof 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 lieen 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 southi west 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 i neighbors and friends as thoroughly competent people, and trust that all [ who suffer of headache and defective I vision will consult them and lie beneI sited, as many others have been, by j ■ their skill and knowledge of the eye. I Mr. and Mrs. Lingerfield have the j most perfect equipped and handsomely furnished optical parlors in the ' State of Ohio, which are located in the | New Arcade. Dayton, Ohio. During ' ; the past fourteen years, being assisted j by their staff of opticians, they have j fitted successfuly forty three thousand I people in the State of Ohio. Mr. and I j Mrs. Lingerfield are manufacturing ' I opticians also. They employ none but I ■, experts to grind their lenses, which are ' 1 j ground from the very finest material I f | obtainable. . i Each lense is guaranteed to be of . H i the most perfect and accurate curva- I I turns, highly polished and perfect, and I ‘ p “ r J*’* y Mr. and Mrs Linv gerheld have fourteen towns they visit ' P ! rt"'*'? V ° ar “, nd they inU,n ' l include . k . Decatur in their circuit, all lenses , are warranted for two years, anyd change is made gratin during said I 0 time. Prices for glasses 52 to
