The season of public sales is now on

There are but two kinds of diseases,
nerve and blood. You have twelve
pairs of cranial nerves and the eyes ge
four and one-third pairs, more than one
third as much as all the rest of the
body. When you are nervous and all
tired out did you ever stop to think
that while your eyes may be as keen as
birds they are robbing your stomach
and other organs Of their nerve supply
in order to see properly, and irritating
your whole nervous system,
1t is too often children in the school
room are neglected and their whole
nervous system broken down, when by
having glasses properly fitted to the
eyes we develop those weak muscles
and by SO doing build up the system.
Now in making those corrections for
children in reasonable length of time,
in some cases it is necessary to make a
change of glasses. Who is going to do
your work and make those changes
when necessary? | have made this
study for twenty-eight years and | am
prepared with all the improved tests to
give the best results. l change glasses
free Of charge. Those desiring their
lens changed will call at my place on
Saturday or Monday Of each week.
Any person not able to come to town
can notify me by card and | will call
at their home free of charge. Here are
} a few testimonials Of some of my work.

ton and Des Moines, who formerly lived

Roy. He has used your glasses he
got from you in Leon, Iowa, four or five
years ago and is still wearing them
and they have given good satisfaction.
Before applying to you he tried two
that claimed to be the best oculists in
the state of Iowa and none seemed to
do him any good. He found you to be a
, man of your word and did as you agreed
to. Yours respectfully,
Mrs. Tillie McCully, Pilot, Neb.
Here is another from Mr.. Sponsley, OF
Humeston, who kept his daughter out OF
school for two years. This is what he
says:
Humeston, Iowa, Dec. 81, 1902.
