Much sickness is due to

Yours may be. If it is,
you cannot get well until
you restore nerve strength

their power from it. If
the power is not there, the

A WARNING

!, For the protection of the public,
the writer deems it the duty of
every good citizen to endeavor to
point out those fakirs and empires
whose business it is to traverse the
country and not only rob the good
citizens of their hard earned cash
through base Misrepresentation,
but in many instances lay the
foundations for future miseries, as
we'll.
would call particular attention
to Spectacle vendors masquerading
under the title of Doctor" but
who in reality never saw inside a
school of optics, and who are as
grossly ignorant of the first princi-
Piles Of Optometry as they are of
the modus-operandi employed for
the correction of optical defects.
A number of cases have recently
come under my observation, where
had the glasses furnished been worn
by the trusting yet deluded patients,
dire results both to health and eye
sight would have resulted.
The eye being as it is one of the
most delicate of all the organs OF
the body, and the visual centers
occupying q very prominent por-
ton of the brain substance, we do
not wonder that eye-strain is the
direct cause of many serious nerv-
Gus disturbances, the aggravation
of which is largely increasing by
improperly fitting glasses dispensed
by quack opticians.
We have had veritablc influx
of Doctors" and Professors" in
this county and their results are
met with almost daily, and as they
now seem to be moving east ward,
we raise the note of warning to the
people Of Highland and adjoining
counties.

sensations of one Of these "Doc-

This is not published for personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but simply for the
protection of the uniformed, and
for the purpose Of aiding in the
consummation of that state of en-
lightenment respecting the practice
of Optometry, for which the Opt
cal Societies in the various states
are earnestly laboring.
AS a word of friendly advice, we
urge these suffering with eye de-
fects to beware of the itinerant
spectacle vender, and consult re-
liable oculist or optometrist, some
of whom have standing dates for
visiting your county, and your re-
ward for so doing will be years OF
comfort through correct vision.
