mas a totally different story about the
matter. He says when out az sea he was
approached by the McCauley, and that
the captain OF the tug wanted to charge

The Value
OF Good
Sight.

Some things are right in my
line, and the optical business
! is one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each individual case. Eyes
are tested in a scientific
manner.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value Of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimated in such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
objects we'll, yet are con-
stantly troubled with per-
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oc-
casional blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects, is by no means
"a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight.
and requires the same treat
ment.
Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be Of the
right kind.
1t is our business to supply
you with only these.
