The editor Of the Fairbault Demo
crat is. aware that Professor Mayne
Arnold the London Eye Specialist,
has corrected reflective errors for
many prominent residents OF Fairbault
who thought their eyes beyond relief.
Many are of great wealth and intelli-
gence, amply able to have the best
optical talent possible for their impair
ed sight regardless of cost, and who
had at a great expense, time and
trouble consulted noted eye specialists
in eastern cities without receiving
either relief or satisfaction.
The editor also knows that the ben
efts Prof. Arnold's patients have re-
ceived are of a permanent character
as the Professor has remained IN Earl
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 emiaent expert
in his profession, IS, that oculists OF
established reputation have regular
visited FaribauLt for years 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 profession
open to all, one could, by long years
of experience, persistent study and
faithful service, with possibly unus-
ual natural aptitude, SO immeasurably
outstrip and distance others IN the
race towards perfection, He accord
ingly secured from Prof. Mayne Arm
old, few names out of the many
prominent people that have patron
lied him. Those selected were re-
garded as the most difficult, and re-
CURED 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
terviewed as possible.
DIR. r. n. JAcKsoN, q prominent.
physician of Faribault, vino has an ex-
tensive practice in this locality, says
that ''my entire school and college
work has been done with one eye, the
left one beicg useless; various oculiSts
having pronounced it beyond help. In
seeking help for my best eye, which
was falling from constant use and eye
strain, Dr.. Arnold discovered the de-
feet of the useless eye to be astigmat-
ism, or more correctly mixed astig-
matism, and remedied the defect SO
