Eye Talks
By DR.. Ralph Martin Samuel

God, in His infinite wisdom,
has provided for us two eyes,
which are absolutely necessary
for right comprehension. No cor
rect conception can be obtained
by one eye alone. The field OF
vision Is such that each eye
watches for each side of the
body; each eye is but half OF the
other. In order to have per-
feet vision, we must possess
sight--the two eyes must work in
unison. II the two eyes do not
work together, as nature intend
ed, then the best eye will be
forced to do more man its share
of work. and the result Is eye
strain, headaches, nervousness.
etc.
My life work Is that Of the OPP
tometrist and optician, and my
training and experience assure
correct glasses for those needing
them. Consultation free. My Of
fee Is in the Balcony of the first
floor. r. M. SAMUEL.

Dear Doctors: Il want to tell you
and every sick person what my con-
dition has been for the last fifteen
years and my experience with all
manner OF doctors and medicines in
seeking a cure or even some relief
from my past condition.
About fifteen years ago bad La
Grippe. which afterwards caused me
to have many complications of all
ments. My blood was bad. / had
stomach trouble. was constipated. my
kidneys panied me a great deal and I
was in as bad shape as a human being
could be in for often could not even
walk and had to stay in bed days at
a time. l doctored with FIVE different
doctors and kept treating with them
at different times for a long period,
each extending over a year. but OBJ
tained absolutely no help for they
did NOT seem IN understand nv naao
and as a result l was OF the opinion
