The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1911-03-05

Your eyes are the most important
organs you have.
They are the most used.
When you sit down your heart |
slows up.
Your stomach gets some rest be-
tween meals.
Your liver works in a quiet way. 1t
is not crowded TO its limit all the
time.
But whenever your eyes are open
they are working at top speed.
They are working hard all the
time You require a great deal
from them.
Your grandparents did not use
their eyes as much as you do. You
read more in a day than people did
in a month twenty years ago.
You take daily newspaper, week
ly and monthly periodicals, and
read them all, Your grandparents
had few or none of these.
School life now puts an excessive
demand on the childrens eyes,
They are taught more things. They
have more to read. Their whole
school life demands increased eye
use.
Such excessive demands on the
eyes have directly developed many
defects. Have indirectly caused
many ills.
And however much you may desire
to slacken the pace you must use
your eyes more and more in order
to keep up in the race.
Yet you. or no other person. ever
had such perfect eyes that they
would stand constant use by arti-
fetal light without developing some
defect. Some defect that needs cor
rection. Some defect that may
later lead to serious disorders.
Eye troubles do not always exhibit
themselves in local troubles. The
nervous connections of the eyes are
complicated and peculiar.
Headaches develop from defective
eyes. Probably half of all head
aches may be traced to this source.
But you can usually easily detect
and trace the cause OF such trou-
bles.
But in other cases the reflex nerv-
! Gus troubles manifest themselves
in the stomach. Many people have
taken medicine from Doctors with
/ out benefit only to have the trou-
bles disappear when the eye strain
was removed by properly fitted
glasses.
Ii have practised medicine and
cured many kinds OF diseases in
this locality.
have specialized on the diseases
of the eye, ear. nose and throat.
Have performed many operations
on these organs. have always
worked and studied that ! might re-
lieve human suffering.
! AND NOW | WANT TO
|SAY TO YOU THAT l
BELIEVE | HAVE RE
|LIEVED MORE ILLS BY
1.-THE RIGHT PRESCRIBE
ING EYEGLASSES THAN
i'm ANY OTHER WAY.
While in the hospitals of the old
country, especially in Germany.
was constantly reminded of the in
creasing use of glasses. 1t seemed
like every man, woman and child
in Germany wore glasses. The Ger
man printed type is so trying on the
eyes that this is necessary.
People in this country are coming
more and more to the wearing oi
glasses. And yet probably no more
than half the people who really
need glasses wear them now.
Records show, however. that oper
ations for cataract of the eye arc
decreasing. Wearing glasses has
taken the strain from the eyes and
SO removed the principal cause OF
| cataract blindness.
And now you can see how it Is
that ! can specialize in my larger
specially with the feeling that by
so doing ] can relieve more suffer
ing. You can see why feel JUST

an expert scientific refractionist
II USE NO DRUGS IN
EXAMINING THE EYES
FOR GLASSES. Drugs
are entirely contrary to ma.
ture. If nature had intend.
ed a drug to enable you to
see, she would have pro.
vided this drug.
l examine the eyes by natures owr
method and obtain results that are
