Advice to Thousands.

Men without number are at this very
hour straining their brain by close ap
plication to business, regardless of the
most important member of the human
body, the eye. Thousands of women
are overworking and straining the eyes
hourly and daily, not thinking when
the eyes give out and cease to guide the
hand, their ability for usefulness and
enjoyment of life is done. Clerks, stu
dents and laborers from close confne-
ment, and long hours strain upon the
eyes are rapidly impairing the same.
There is no one after passing the age
of thirty, that cannot find relief and
protection for the eyes when at work, by
using properly adjusted lense, and hold
the eye for years to lis youthful vigor.
We cordially invite all to call upon US
at our rooms, and examine our stock of
goods and scientific instruments for ad-
justing lenses for every condition of the
eyes, cross eyes, near sighted, far sighted
and all other defects.
