1t is a well known fact that clear
ness and nOrmality Of the structures
Of the eye and optic tract are requisite
for perfect action Of that organ. Dim
ness, opacities and cataracts are OF
various kinds and degrees and are re-
suits Of accident or disease. As every
part and organ of your body are under
control Of nerve centers and the nerves
in your eyes communicate with these
nerve centers through the brain which
receives impressions from all parts
and organs of your body and selects
and distributes nerve force causing ac-
ton somewhere, as for instance, the
function Of sight by the impressing
rays eminating from external objects
TO the eye nerves which transmit the
sensation TO the brain for perception
and thus we see with our brain as the
mOter centers adjust the focusing
mechanism Of the eye i'm order To see
the objects clearly. But when peculiar
defects exist, the eye strain due to eff
fort Of nature To see clearly and singu-
lar calls for extra nerve force and
draining the nerve centers rObs some
part or organ of the body of its normal
nerve flow, resulting in disturbance in
the brain, the nervous system, circula-
ton, &c, causing headaches; neuralgia,
stomach trouble, &c; and in the same
way, disturbance or disease in any
part Of the organism will affect the
eye and weaken the vision. In either
case the exhaustion Of nerve energies
can be greatly reduced and great re-
lief given by the proper use Of thepro-
per glasses.
BY my examination of the eyes and
nerve measurements | discover the
real cause Of the trouble and advise
you what to do.
DIR. III. CARL HELBIG,
EYE AND NERVE SPECIALIST.
DR.. III. Carl Helbig, Of Sl4 Church
ST., Lynchburg, Va, eminent eye
specialist, gives an interesting descrip-
lion Of an instrument he has TO de- /
iermine the range Of vision i'm making I
examinations. "The majority Of eye .
SPECIALISTS" said the doctor, "leaye /
he selection Of glasses almost entirely /
% the patient" taking their decision .
Is 10 which is most suitable as final. /
This is an entirely wrong method, and
caves opportunities for grevious mis-
axes for which the patient may carry
lifelong regret. With this instru-
nent, upon which he has worked
ome improvement, the examination
# children's eyes is simpliled. The
'reatest difficulty in an eye special
SITS profession is getting an accurate
description Of symptoms from a child
whose mode Of expression is limited
" a small vocabulary. From expert
nee and close study and the aid of
methods DIR. Helbig can
reat successfully the most obstinate
asses without calling into use any eX-
ressiOn from the patient.
Dr. Helbig has most enviable re-
utatiOn built and established on the
act OF giving everyone satisfaction
With whom he deals. His superior

entatives.

iagnosis of the affection from which

what glasses are needed
