PERIOD OF TIME.

Mr. a. J. Chewing. Jr.. member
OF Richmonds prominent family OF
that name. Is another of that family
to tell of the splendid accomplish
ments of Charles Lincoln Smith and
hts method and prescription glasses,
when Charles. Lincoln Smith was
here several years ago several mem
bers of my family called on him and
were greatly benefited. At that time
/ was suffering greatly with neural
gta and hardly knew what to do.
considered that ] had tried almost
everything and everybody TO secure
relief, but the neuralgia was still
there.
FINALLY I went to Charles Lincoln
Smith and to nay great relief found
that he was all that had been rep
resented to me. He Immediately re-
ieved me with his method and pre-
scription glasses and for years l had
not the slightest pains,
Il was told, however, that in the
course of time the trouble would
probably recur and after the lapse OF
seven years | found this to he so.
This winter / again came to Charles
Lincoln Smith and his former success
In my case was repeated. His work
deserves the very highest commenda-
ton"

ten years ago The pains were as
sharp as the twinges of toothache.
My eyes were always iufiamed and
sore, and I used to have TO rest them

suits / had heard from several friends.

MANY TIMES HIS CHARGE

Mr., II. NJ. Turner, who for thirty
three years conducted a large store
at Galloway. Franklin county, Va,
but who now is retired, and who lives
with his family at Norwood, one of
the newer Suburbs Of Richmond. In
speaking of the work OF Charles Lin
coin Smith, said:
After suffering for years with my
eyes. and endeavoring without sue
cess to obtain relief, / came to Charles
Lincoln Smith five years ago. The
benefit which l received was, in my
estimation, remarkable. I had been
treated by three of the leading oc-
ulists OF the State, but failed TO get
even temporary relief My eyes were
always sore and aching, and the lids
were generally infamed and smarted
greatly whenever l read for few
hours. The glasses which were given
to me seemed only to aggraVate my
trouble, as they hurt my eyes SO much
that if l would read for a short time
before retiring at night, It required
an hour or more for me to recover
from the pain so that / could sleep
Il had given up my business be-
cause my health broke down, and my
physical condition was aggravated by
the eve troubles which gave me con-
siderable pain and annoyance. l had
about given up hope of ever obtaining
permanent relief when I came to
Charles Lincoln smith Within a
short time he had fixed me up so that
/ could see as well as ever ! had In
/ my life, and all the aches and pains
/ which ! suffered vanished as If by
magic l could read for hours with
out the slightest strain or trouble

Several months ago broke the
glasses which this man prescribed for
me five years ago. The glasses which
/ got to replace them seemed to make
my eyes more painful. | had to give
up nearly all my reading, and the
strain of even trying to read my
evening paper by electric light be-
came so great that | had to discon-
tinue II almost entirely. | had to de-
pend upon my daughter TO read me
the news.
Then learned of the return OF
this able man to Richmond. and
Immediately called upon him. The
result is that am now reading all the
books and papers I desire without the
slightest discomfort. His method and
the glasses have given me new sight

gratitude / feel for him for doing
for me what no others have been able

some OF my friends have remark
ed to me that they think Charles Lin
coin Smith is high-priced prac-
titioner, but II one considers the fact
that he accomplished results for me
for which / would willingly have paid
many times his charge, it must be ad-
mitted that his charges are very rea-
sonable, indeed.
