Where you get the lowest prices,
III cinest goods, the most skill aud
greatest benefit from Prof. Arnold's
long experience as the Professor has
studied the eye and It's relief more
| years than any man living. Mayne
Arnold recently promised readers Of
the Oskaloosa Herald that ne would
publish a hundred letters from the
physicians and other distinguished
gentlemen Of a hundred prosperous
cities. Many will be from Iowa towns
and the rest from close neighboring
states. Prof. Arnold Is very sorry for
those who have thrown away money
with quacks they could not AFFORD and
who are running their eyes with wrong
glasses.
Many are people who should know
better. All such are invited to call
on Prof. Arnold, who will be friendly
and forgive them this time, as they
are the one who suffer and will hard
ly do II again. Probably the frames
can be used and It will cost but little
for the correct glasses. Then come
to the only optical store in oskaloosa,
and consult an e~ye-sight specialist OF
real ability who does not rely on bluff,
buster, quack methods, and false
'pretense advertisements to attract pa
tronage. The following letter from
doctors and others Of Cedar Falls,
Iowa, is the second letter published
in the oskaloosa Herald, leaving 98
more to come later.
Prof. Arnold will prove his skill by
evidence Of such sterling worth that
no sane man or woman can doubt:
Cedar Falls, Iowa, Oct. 26, 1892.
I'VE have carefully examined the
spectacles made by Prof. Mayne Ar.
mold and consider them superior TO
any we have ever seen. With his as.
slstance they are admirably adapted,
not only to improve the imperfections
of impaired sight, but to relieve the
WEAKNESS of vision which constant
study produces. Many of the glasses
used by the Professor are Of new and
very ingenious construction. We most
cordially recommend him to all those
who require scientific optical assist.
