Many remarkable corrections hav

Many remarkable corrections have
recently been made in cases of chill
dren with defective or so-called cross
ed eyes, since the science of 0ptome-
try has been so highly developed, and
Dr.. H. Clay Evenson, the prominent
Lacrosse specialist, says that in a
great many cases, perhaps the ma
jority of cases, it is possible to per-
manently correct so-called crossed
eyes by the skillful and scientific adap-
tation of glasses, without the use of
medicine or an operation.
During the past ten or twelve years
DR.. Evenson has Strengthened the eyes
of scores of children by the use of cor
rectly fitted glasses, which in a natu-
raj and easy way bring the effected
eye back to its normal and natural ap-
pearance, and in many of these cases
after the fault has been corrected by
the wearing of scientifically fitted lens
es over period of time, it has been
possible for the patient to entirely dis
card the corrective lenses and in some
instanc es to discard glasses entirely.
The accompanying photograph of
Lizzie Cunningham, 1119 So. 14th
Street, is one of many in Dr. Even
sons files showing the results he has
obtained. DIR. Evenson says that
while there are some cases which it is
impossible to correct with glasses, the
largest per centage are susceptible
to treatment and that a complete
Strengthening of the eyes is so nearly
certain Of attainment that no child so
afflicted should be permitted to go
through life with crossed eyes when
permanent cure is so easy to obtain
The fact, however, that these cor
rections can be made by the use of
glasses, does not mean that "any old
glasses, will - the work. In fact
the eye is Sufficiently delicate that it
is extremely dangerous to trust to any
but the most skilled-specialist, whose
reputation is well known and estab-
hshed, for improperly fitted lenses
will do great deal more harm than
good and may even bring the patient
to such condition that, later on, even
the most scientific treatment would be
of little use.
A child afflicted with Eye-strain Of
ten does not make the progress at
school that you think he should. Eye
strain often makes severe headaches,
and vomiting occurs frequently. Don't
let Eye-strain draw you down. Avoid
this handicap. It costs so little to
have your eyes properly attended to by
competent eye Specialist" or sop
tometrist."
If any members of your family, or
any of your friends, are afflicted either
with crossed eyes, or with other faults
of vision, call on DIR. Evenson the next
time you are in Lacrosse and let him
explain his methods and what the
scientific practice of Optometry will
do, and what it has done for hundreds
Of others. His office is located at the
corner of Fifth and Main Streets. If
you do not contemplate an early trip
to Lacrosse, or if it is inconvenient for
you to call soon, write him letter de-
scribing your trouble and he will send
you his advice and a valuable booklet
on Conservation of Sight" A letter

Chronic Catarrh

Our manner Of living makes US very
susceptible to colds and loathsome
disease with which it is estimated that
ninety-five per cent of our adult pop

avoid chronic catarrh you must avoid

commended as a cure for colds and
