"OPTQMETRY” means a person licensed under the laws of the State to test eyesight and fit glasses. Having recently taken the State Board Examination and was one of a few that successfully passed, the privelege to use this title has been extended to me and is the State guarantee to you of my competency and authority to correct refractive errors by proper glasses, which is not only an Improvement to visslon but a benefit to one’s general health. Remember the word "Optometrist,” it will safeguard' you against Incompetents who are neither capable nor authorized by law to test your sight or prescribe glasses. You owe it to yourself to get posted on the new Optometery law, recently passed by the State for your and your family’s protection. If your eyes .bother you and cause you to feel bad, don’t put it off, but <«ff on the “Optometrist,” have your eyes properly taken care of and be relieved of your trouble. If you break a lens or any part of your glasses don’t take them just any place, thinking you can get the same thing, but take them to Catt, the Optometrist, there you take no chances. Remember this. „In order to get the people familiar with the new title "Optometry,” which the State law has given the science of correction of visual defects by glasses, I will give $5.00 in gold to the person that writes Dr. A. G. Catt, Optometrist,” the greatest number of times on a 3%x >% inch postal card and mails to me on or before the first day of lune, 1909. DR. A. G. CATT, OPTOMETRIST. Rensselaer, Ind.
