a PROMINENT eooK.kEEpEa.

Irwin Lipscomb, a prominent bookeep-
err Of this city. employed by the Pres
byterinn Committee OF Publication, comes
forward with great words OF praise for
Charles Lincoln Smith. Mr.. Lipscoub
has occupied a responsible position for
several years, and the nature Of his work
had began to affect his eyesight.
SO serious had his affection become that
he had grave fears OF having to make q
change In his occupation.
For the past four years his eyesight
had got III such 4 state that night work
was utterly Impossible and 1t was rarely
Che case that reading could be INDUCED
In BY artificial light
Mr. 1ipscomb had resorted to every
means toward relieving his distressing
headaches, and has had innumerable pre-
scriptions filled for that purpose. although
never has anything been accomp lIshed by
them. Kealizing the terrible state his
allnent was likely to bring him to. his
anxiety for relief was great.
Through tho reputation made by
Charles Lincoln Smith and his method
and prescription glasses In such cases.
Mr.. Llpscomb decided to give him a
trial. He now says that It has far sur
passed Ills widest expectations, and that
he can sec as we'll ns he ever could N
his HE. He says that he sat up until
midnight recently reading q book. some
thing which would have inca pslcitated him
for work the next day II he had done 30
before securing the glasses, but that the
next morning he noticed no III effects
whatever from his unusual custom. Mr..
Lipsconb- says that II is pleasure to him
TO direct anybody suffering from poor
eyesight to Charles Lincoln Smith, as ne
has entire confidence IN him and knows
that he will be able to give them relief,
II anybody can do so.
