Ing their seven years residence
here they have formed a large
number Of friends. Mr. Mitchell
being one Of the organizers Of the

Mrs. Mitchell and her beautiful
little daughter have Joined the 10

had their defective eyesight and
happiness restored through the
New York experts method and
prescription glasses.
4 am more than delighted with
the benefit both myself and dsugh-
ter have received through Charles
Lincoln Smith," Mrs. Mitchell de-
ciared.
In my own particular case. my
eyesight has been poor for four
teen years. I could not see the
bis iettered signs on moving vans
and delivery wagons a few feet
away. Aside from this. | became
- nervous from the pains in my
eyes aud back Of my head. that for

nights which formerly were sleep
less. are now marked with refresh
ing slumber. Ny eyes have a cool
and mellow feeling. all that burn

She complained that her sight was
becoming poor. and OF severe
pains In her head. ! had a spe-
eiaiist fit her with glasses. She
rapidly BECAME worse. the head
aches growing more violent. and
in despair took her with rue to
Charles Lincoln Smith. He soon
diagnosed her case. and 1t II re-
raarkable how quickly his pre-
seription glasses have removed
her eye troubles. She can nov
see as well as ever.
we are both thankful that we
went to consult with this great
