to the fact that the testimonials, refer
ences, ETC., of Prof. M. Arnold are not
of mythical kind. The signers are

are business and professional men from

DEFECTIVE VISION.
Mayor of Charles City, Iowa

The cause and Remedies scientifically
Handled by the Famous Optlcian,
Professor Arnold.
The loss ofsight is the worst afflc-
ton from which humanity suffers.
Even the impairment Of human vision
IS intolerable, and perpetual blindness
is a curse. AS soon as the first symp-
toms Of failing eyesight appear it is
reasonable that the distressed should
seek relief from those who are com.
petent to offer it. What many aver
must be believed. Hundreds testify
TO the efficacy of the treatment they
have received from the distinguished
optician, M. Arnold. He promises
little and accompishes " onders. He
processes little and yet has marvellous
skill. His acknowledged skill and
judgment enables him to detect the
fault and apply just the glass color and
lens which will supply the deficiency.
His skill and spectacles are vouched
for by thousands. The late celebrated
physician, DR.. George kirkpatrick, OF
La Harpe, H., wrote this beautiful
tribute TO the doctors skill in May,
1884 81 take especial pleasure in
recommending to myifriends who need
further light or a modification Of the
same in any form, DR.. NJ. Arnold, who
has consumed me that progress in the
scientific and artistic department to
which he has enthusiastically devoted
himself, has developed much more
than has been dreamed of in my
philosophy. It has been luxury to
to me to have looked over his rare and
beautiful appliances for better Eight
ing the windows of the SOUL" Prof.
Arnold has established his office in the
Mankato House block, Mankato, MINI,
where he has roomy apartments well
adapted to his purpose of attending
to the wants OF his numerous patients.
