To Parents of School Children.
Advt

How does theNwelfare of your chill
dren impress you? If ,ou were UNI
der continual strain when you
are tBying to do your work, and that
strain could be removed by spend
ing q few dollars, would you not
spend that few dollars?
The young person suffers a great
deal more with eye strain than does
the older person, in cases OF astig-
matism the strain is very great,
which causes headaches and other
troubles. An improperly fitted pair
of glasses cause more trouble than
no glasses. And buying glasses
without having the eyes tested is
very injurious and dangerous.
And so the loving parent will not
overlook the welfare of their chill
dren in school as well as elsewhere.
If your child is not doing well in
school it would be to your interest
to consult me about their eyes. |

in Rockingham for nearly ten years
