THE EYE IS ovERTAxED
BUT SCIENCE, IT'S BESr FRIEND,
COMES TOTHE RELIEF.
The Methods Adopted for Repairing
the injury to Mans Most
Valuable Gift.

Valuable Gift,
There are several ways by which the
eyesight may be destroyed or impaired.
BY accident is one way, by dis
ease is another, and another by
natural weakness and decay These are
three of the most destructive, and OF the
three, the latter is beyond all question the
most prevalent.
In this particular, the eye is different
from any other faculty Of man. The eye
is kept buster than all the other faculties
combined. 1t is therefore, taxed more
than all the others combined. If the ear
hears tidings of joy, the eye must glisten
with gladness. If the ear must listen to
It tale of woe, the eye must do the weep
ing, If the heart OverA0ws with grief, it
can only escape through the avenues
of the eye, however weary the eye may be.
The eye must follow the needle over the
dizzy fabric while the ear and the other
faculties are resting The eye must watch
and not every little disorder or disar
rangemeut in the household 1t must

over the ledger, correct all errors, strike
all the balances in the counting rooms,
unrayel all the intricate problems in the
studies Of the student, and then when the
other faculties are at leisure, the eye
must feed the mind by scanning the pages
of magazines. newspapers, story books,
and periodicals. And yet people wonder
that the eve gets weary and its sight inn
paired, either during the morning or the
evening of life,
1t is this ovcrtaXing Of the eye thai
brings an early weakness and impairment
of sight, and yet in this day and time
it cannot well be avoided but there are
remedies-at least a remedy-that, when
properly applied, viii aid the eye and pre-
vent disease, or even partial blindness
Science had hid in it's recesses,
methods for overcoming premature
or unnatural weakness These meth
odsods, however, would be dor
mant and unobtainable except for
the delving into science of great
minds; many hundreds of them have
delyed and delyed until they have dis
covered and mastered ways and means
for arersting the Impairment Of the eye
and this scientific methods is By the prop
CT use of properly adjusted glasses.
1t is wonderful how many persons in
iure their eyes by the use of cheap glasses,
bought at haphazard, and totally insult
cd to them. 1t is like boring hole in a
sound tooth. Your hat boots or shoes
and clothes must be bought at intervals
OF not less than one year with the most
economical. You cannot injure the per-
son in such decision as wearing apparel,
but can totally ruin your eyes and sight
by knowing nothing Of the science of OPP
ties, Of the laws Of refraction in getting
glasses-therefore, do not depend upon
your own judgment or trust to that OF any
one else unless qualified by years of prac-
tice in their profession Glasses insult
ed to you must be changed very often.
so that at the end Of a short period the
patients find they have ruined their eyes
or sight and have paid more in a short
period than they would have done, and
saved their eyes and sight, had they con
suited the proper authority in the begin
ming. Get the glasses to suit you in
the first place, and they will asst you and
save your eyes from three, FIVE, eight or
ten years, and viii not cost you more
than You would pay for your hats or
shoes in the same time. Now, the ques-
tion remains with you, whether your eyes
are worth it. These remarks are called
forth by the presence of DR.. Louis II.
Matthez in Raleigh whose name and repu-
tation as scientist in his profession in
the adjustment Of glasses to the eyes is
known and recognized in this country and
in Europe. He comes to Raleigh to es-
tabish the character Of his service and
work. He is endorsed by the most distiu-
guished persons throughout the coun-
try, and is not to be classed with the or
binary travelling spectacle faker. Dr.
Matthez employs no agents and has no
assistants, except his secretary, and can
be consulted only at his Office, room Al,
parlor floor, Marlborough House. His
apartments are magnificently arranged
for the reception of his visitors, i'm a sim
liar manner to his method of conducting
his professional work at his home office.
Or. Matthez brings with him to this city
letters Of highest introduction relative to
his character and worth i'm his great
work. DR.. Matthez will be in Raleigh but
a short time, and those who fail to consult
him about their eyes and glasses viii sim
ply lose the opportunity of their likes. |
