PROF. MAYNE ARNOLD.
AN EFFICIENT AND HONORABLE
OPTICIAN WHO is ABOVE
TRICKERY.
Daily Proving That He is strictly
Fair to All Consequently Reap
Ing Heavy Patronage


In editorialIy recommending to our
readers Prof. Mayne Arnold, the OPP
tician, who is at present In Oskaloosa,
The Herald does not think it has de-
parted from its well-known conserva,
tive course, for it does so only after
acquiring a thorough acquaintance
with the gentleman and his dealings
with his patrons. No better criterion
than this could have been chosen.
In response to his advertisements
many people called upon Prof. Arnold
who were dissatisfied with the glass.
es they had been using. In many
cases they were sent away after a
free examination, the gentleman in
forming them that no spectacles
could be procured better suited %
their sight than the ones they had.
These facts have become known to
us, not through Prof. Arnold, but
from the parties themselves, who
warmly recommend friends with de-
fective vision to visit this oculist-
so obviously free from any tricks of
trade.
Testimonials are very well in their
way, but unless accompanied by con-
frmatory evidence they do not have
much weight with the general public.
But accompanied BY the testimony
of home witnesses known to us all,
such testimonials as Prof. Mayne
Arnold has, appear in an unquestion,
able light.
The value of Prof. Arnold's specta.
Giles, constructed to aid defective
vision upon strictly scientific princi,
pies have received recognition at the
hands of hundreds of prominent ply
sicans from various parts of the
world. We have carefully examined
scores of unsolicited testimonials
(of their genuineness there is not
the slightest possibility of a doubt
from professors in theological insti
tutes and divinity schools, United
States senators, ex-governors OF
states, judges of supreme courts,pro,
fessors in medical institutes, presi'
dents of business colleges and com
mercial schools, superintendent Of
state schools for the blind, including
hundreds from prominent physicians
of more than ordinary repute in their
several localities, all of which speak
| in terms of praise in regard to the
professors skill.
When men of such business sagac'
| ity and shrewdness as these come
forward and put their names under
such strong testimonials it is no idle
talk, but means something, and leaves
not the vestige of a doubt in the
minds of the most incredulous of the
professors ability, with his long
years of experience, his costly and in
genious appliances, together with his
matured and trained Judgment to
benefit those securing his services
often beyond their most sanguine ex'
pectations.
