TO PARENTS OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN
w, W AIEltS,
Pennington Mo,

You may see your children work
ing late at night, studying very
hard to get their lessons. When
thoir report cards come, you are
disappointed in their grades. Do
you lay the blame on dull intel
lect? Do you concede that they are
not as bright as other children?
The whole trouble may be caused
by defective eyesight, and many n
supposedly dull child has rapidly
advanced after the proper glasses
were fitted.
/ charge nothing for examination,
and being n graduate optlcian gives
testimony as to my ability. IL
glasses are not needed, l gladly say
so; money will not bribe me to put
glasses on children who don't need
them.
