The editor of the Faribault Demo


crat is aware that Professor Mayne
Arnold the London Eye Specialist,
has corrected refractive errors tor
many prominent residents of Falrbault
who thought their eyes beyond relief.
Many are of great wealth and intelll-
gence, amply able to have the best
optical talent possible for their impair
ed sight regardless of cost, and who
had at great expense, time and
trouble consulted noted eye specialists
in eastern cities without receiving
,.;ther relief or satisfaction.
The editor also knows that the ben
e.. Prof. Arnold's patients have re-
ce., ed are of a permanent character
as The Professor has remained in Farl-
bault more than two months and his
patrons are more and more pleased
the longer they wear the glasses sup
piled by him.
A remarkable fact, and one that
shows beyond the possibility of doubt
that Prof. Arnold is an eminent expert
in his profession, is, that ocullsts OF
established reputation have regularly
visited Faribault for years at intervals
OF two weeks, or less, without achlev-
ing such phenomenal success. A tact
to be considered also, is the short dis
lance (about fifty miles, to St. Paul
and Minneapolis, two cities we'll pro-
vided with opticians and eye special
lists, and where our citizens have us
ually gone when their eyes demanded
attention.
The, writer resolved to make per
sonal investigation of this matter. and
ascertain whether, in q profession
open to all, one could, by long years
OF experience, persistent study and
faithful service, with possibly unus-
ual natural aptitude, SO UNNECESSARILY
outstrip and distance others IN the
race towards perfection, He accord
lngly secured from Prof. Maync Arm
old a few names out of the many
prominent people that have patron
lied him. Those selected were re-
garded as the most difficult, and re-
quired glasses ground specially by the
Professor for each individual case.
The result of interviewing them is
given to our readers in as nearly the
identical language used by those in
lerviewed as possible.
DR.. R. N. JACKSON, a prominent
physician of Faribault, who has an ex-
tensve practice in this locality, says
that "my entire school and college
work has been done with one eye, the
left one being useless; various oculsts
having pronounced it beyond help. In
seeking help for my best eye, which
was falling from constant use and eye
strain, DIR. Arnold discovered the de-
feet of the useless eye to be astigmat-
ism, or more correctly mixed astig-
matism, and remedied the defect SO
that now study with the utmost ease
for any length of time and use both
eyes. Il have practiced medicine
eleven years, eight years in Faribault,
MINI. l have probably sent DR..
Arnold hundred and fifty OF my pa
tients and have yet to hear of case
that was not perfectly satisfactory. l
have been amazed at the ease with
which DR.. Arnold corrected the most
complicated cases of defective refrac-
tion." Next call was made on
Hon. F. w. WINTER, mayor of
Faribault, at his office in the extensive
foundry and machine shops, of which
he is the head. Mr.. and Mrs. Winter
are patrons of DR.. Arnold and pro-
cured fine spectacles (their frst) of
him. Mayor Winter says he is well
pleased with the glasses purchased
from DIR. Arnold and can recommend
DIR. A. and his work to anyone in
need of his services. This interview
was with
DR.. H. N. DALE, who has prac-
