II is a we'll known fact that clear
ness aud 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 10 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 10 see
the objects clearly. But when peculiar
defects exist, the eye strain due to ef-
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, DC; 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 the pro-
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. II. CARL HELBIG,
EYE AND NERVE SPECIALIST.
DIR. II. Carl Helbig, Of Sl4 Church
ST., Lynchburg, Va, eminent eye
specialist, gives an interesting descrip-
tlOn OF an instrument he has 10 de
termine the range of vision i'm making
examinations. "The majority Of eye
specialists, said the doctor, "leaye
the selection of glasses almost entirely
10 the patient" taking their decision
as 10 which is most suitable as final.
This is all entirely wrongmethod, and
leaves opportunities for grevious mis-
takes for which the patient may carry
a lifelong regret. With this instru- |
ment, upon which he has worked /.
some improvement, the examination /
VI children's eyes is simplified. The
greatest difficulty in an eve special !
ist's profession is getting an accurate |
description Of symptoms from child |
whose mode of expression Is limited /
by small vocabulary. From expert |
ence and close study and the aid of |
improved methods DIR. Helbig can
treat successfully the most obstinate |
cases without calling into use any ex-
preston from the patient.
DIR. Helbig has most enviable re-
putatiOn built and established on the |
fact OF giving everyone satisfaction |
with whom he deals. His superior
knowledge and workmanship is known
everywhere among the highest classes
Of society and among the highest OFF,
cials OF our country his work being i'm /.
both the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives.
Long experience has grounded him
the things which go TO make up the
diagnosis Of the affection from which
a person is suffering.
So competent is this specialist that
the patient need not be called upon for
any opinion Of her or his symptoms. |
The doctor knows Immediately upon
what glasses are needed |
Dr. what treatment is necessary.
