sional Proposition.

Most invariably people who have,
for years, been having trouble to pro-
cure glasses suitable to their eyes have
been laboring under the impression
that the principle valuc of a pair II
eyeglasses or spectacles Were II the
quality of the material used in their
construction. They do not stop to
consider that the only true value that
ian be placed on a pair of glasses is
en- the perfect and accurate correction
of each and every defect existing in
each eye, not only in the restoration
of vision, but in overcoming all
troubles caused by structural defects,
such as pains in the back of the head
extending down the neck into the
shoulders or spine, nervousness, dlzZl-
ness, sick stomach, smarting, Burn
ing sensation, with shooting pains in
the eyeballs and drowsy sensation
while reading or doing close work.
But few people at first thought
seem to appreciate the IacU tHat W
