while c. W. Davis. of 2513 Floyd Ave
nue., superintendS the ACTUAL co"s1' u
ton work.
Mr.. Davis has just passed through
a most pleasing and unusual expert
ence. which came as a most pleasant
surprise to him and which he jubilant-
~ relates:
For ten years I had been constant
" troubled with severe pains across
the forehead and temples, which great
" in.erferred with my work and MADE
nv life miserable. I consulted the best
talent available without the slightest
benefit. | was treated by one special
isl after another with the same re-
sult. II was just a continuous pro-
cessiol from one practitioner TO an
other
my work over my plans and blue
prints was such a strain on my sight
that 1 had 10 give il up every Few
hours 1t almost drove me TO distrac-
ton. I couldn't read much without
paving for it dearly afterward.
Two years ago / had an attack
which resembled vertigo. 1 thought
that there was some organic trouble,
and consulted my physician. After a
thorough examination. he declared
a bilious condition vas responsible
for the attack and treated me accord
ingIy. Similar sensations. though not
so severe continued for several weeks.
When they ceased the old dizziness
and pains remained.
Then. about six or seven weeks
ago. another severe attack of the same
nature was experienced. 1 felt my
self staggering wildly. as IL some ire
sistibie force was trying to throw me
to the ground. That time I saved my
self from bad fall by leaning against
the wall until the spell passed. For
three weeks these staggering spells
continued. They often came upon me
while walking in the street They
came without warning and everything
seemed to swim before my eyes. and
reeled like a drunken man. Ny con-
dition caused me the greatest appre-
tension
AS soon as the first attack Of this
period came / went to my physician
He again diagosed il as a bilious at
tack and treated me accordingly
Then when the staggering spells con-
tinued, ne suspected that il was my
eyes which were responsible for my
misery. He advised me to consult
specialist
Although told my physician that
I had not any hope of ever receiving
any benefit for my eyes. ! determined
to make one more attempt con-
suited Charles Lincoln Smith. whose
remarkable success with others had
come to my attention. The result is
that / have not had a single attack
since he first applied his method and
prescription glasses. and I have no
more pains or dizziness.
Ever since my eyes first started TO
trouble me, more than ten years ago.
7 have been constantly afraid of fall
ing every time I have assembled a lad
der on any of the many houses which
we have built Ny work. as the techni-
cal and practical member OF our hrm
make IL necessary for me often to
perform this sort of work. Charles
Lincoln Smiths method and prescrip-
ton glasses have made me see so well
ard have made me sure Of myself.
that / now run up a ladder with all
the agility and confidence I had when
I was a boy His glasses seem 10 suit
my eyes so well that I hardly know
have them on
.'You see concluded Mr. Davis.
Charles Lincoln Smiths method and
prescription glasses have made a new
man Of me. and ] can't say anything
too good about him"
