lieved my headaches for years and Of

procured glasses from another noted
eye specialist who finished his medical
education in Europe So you see I
have had what certainly ought to be
very skillful service for my defective
eyes. 1t remained for Prof Arnold to
adapt glasses which are superior be-
yond comparison to all the others and
which are simply perfect. AS lule |
am averse to having my name in
print, but, if l can in any way assist in
alleviating the suffering of others, and
by referring them to Prof Arnold have

lieved as | have been by his wonder
full skill, | am entirely willing to do SO.
Do I think him SO very skillful? Well
he has been here now about ten weeks
and has corrected the eyes OF a large
number of my most intimate friends
and you viii find shat we are all very
enthusiastic in regard TO his work.
Good eyes are precious and ours are
better and we see better than ever be-
fore" Our next interview was with
Mrs. M. J. STowGLL, an old resi-
dent of Faribault, and her daughter,
Mrs. L. M. Mead, who were among!
the first to call on DIR. Arnold. Mr. 5
Stowell for years has not been able TIC
get glasses to suit her and on examir Ia
ton by DR.. Arnold the trouble was
pronounced to be astigmatism. After
having her sight corrected for far and
near she now has no trouble what ever
She can read and sew during thee eve
ming with entire ease. Her age lis "a
years. Mrs. Mead says she was Unable
to get glasses to fit her eyes until DR..
Arnold fitted her with his Peruvian
Crystal lenses which gave perfect sat
isfaction. Mrs. .Stowell and Mrs.
Mead have used their glasses for SIX
weeks to two months and cor.sider the
improvements as ting one. Our next
visit was st the residence Of
Mrs. L. NJ. A. CLEMENT. wife
of Frederick Clement Of the Min
nesota Cereal Milling company,
who says that her eyes have trou-
bled her from infancy and were
growing worse as she grew older.
That she had been unable to get
glasses to help her, having pur-
chased many pairs that have all
proved unsatisfactory and per
fectly worthless. I will continue
in her own words: II consulted
Dr.. Arnold at the Brunswick
Hotel, who informed me upon my
examination thatmy case was com
pound hyperopic astigmatism and
that nothing but glasses adapted
| and ground specially for me would
be of any benefit to my eyes. Dr.
Arnold was sosuccessful in reliev-
ing my eyes lof all trouble and
giving me perfect vision that my
husband and our four daughters
procured glasses with which we
are entirely satisfied after having
had an extended trial and worn
them long enough to know the re-
lief is permanent"

Isn't it about time to throw away
that old pair of rusty frame, poor
glass spectacles? You know they
were never suited to your eyes, and
you have been threatening to change
them for better ones for long time.
You viii never find as good
a time as the present. Why?
Prof. Arnold is at the Mankato House,
where he has been for SIX weeks.
Isn't that long time? Yes, a good
while IN one town where he does
nothing but fit glasses to the eyes.
Why does he remain so long? Well,
the fact is his business increases the
longer he stays here. He has great
skill together with long experience,
and thousands Of dollars worth Of fine
and ingenious appliances to test eyes,
besides he knows how to use than.
Many Of them were invented and
made by himself How came. he to
adopt optics as a profession? His
father and grandfather were practical
opticians and large manufacturers Of
specially fine and perfected lenses in
London. His father specially edu-
Gated the Professor for this work from
childhood, SO it may be truthfully said
that Prof. Arnold has the experience
of three generations of opticians to
assist him in benefttlng his patrons.
Butssarn't his prices enormous? Oh,
no, quite the reverse. He makes no
charge for testing eyes. That is en-
tirely free; and sells the finest and
best spectacles on the face of the earth,
with absolutely perfect lenses, and his
splendid fitting thrown in, for two
dollars and fifty cents. Frames in
blue bronze and silver, steel, gold
nose; also solid nickel, aluminium,
royal alloy, gold plated, ETC.. Solid
coin silver spectacles at three-hfty.
Then the gold spectacles are magnih-
cent, in all weights and styles. In
short, he has everything desired, and
the price for gold spectaclee, or eye
glasses. is seven dollars and a half.
No charge is made for fitting. If in
consequence of any peculiar facial
contour he cannot fit the face well
out of his enormous stock, he will
take accurate measurements and send
to his Chicago house where frames
will be made to order without extra
charge. Now the eyes are well worth I
all the care you can give them, and
what is better or more to be valued
when needed, than pair elegant glas-
ses, especially when fitted by the king
Of opticians. PROF. MAYNE ARNOLD. |

CLEVER bWINDLE

\ clever swindlle Is practiced by
pedlers travelling about and canvass
ing houses IN tow and country BY
falsely pretending to be opticians,
doctors, ETC., and to have great skill
in fitting the eyes for glasses. In or
der to dispose Iof their cheap and
worthle S glasses set in poorly made
framed, they make practice of furn-
ishing glasses that magnify too much,
which for s. hort time appear to i'm
prove the vision. The effect of such
glasses IS to produce an irritable con-
dltlon of tn Ie eyes and cause them to
ache, and ]Eequire frequent recourse
to stronger and still stronger glasses.
kxhorbiitant prices are also charged
by these constituencies rascals, sor
goocs mflch inferior to those kept by
your LOCAL dealers or reputable opti-
Clans. Frequently these peddling
confd9,nce men and frauds will sell a
par off spectacles for an enormous
price when the quality is SO poor that
q teS Ipect&0le OptlClan or JeWeler would
reiuTb to deal in them, at any price,
sl-lso, a city address is often given,
VII ere those plausible SC undrels claim
to have a large optical store with an
IN lmense business, but should his Gus
TONER visit the city and look up the
J lumber, he might find a vacant lot or a
business of an entirely different char
acter and that the learned and distin-
guished doctor was entirely unknown.
The above does not exhaust the list
of ingenious tricks practised by the
aforesaid gentlemen by any means,
their stories and their methods Of
fleeing their dupes being widely var
led and only limited by the talent Of
the operator So far as conscience is
concerned, it cuts no figure, and the
only safe way is for those who wear
glasses rot to allow travelling i'm
poster to either wheedle or brighten
them out Of their money. The ped
ding optician is an impudent fraud as
rule. PROF. MAYNE ARNOLD,
