Never have I had . the connection
between headaches and eye strain
brought home to me more forcibly
than during this week. .
Ou of the cases that have visited
me during the past few days, over a
dozen have come because of severe
headaches, and this although their
vision was perfect or nearly so.
They, felt that. eye strain must be
at the bottom of the trouble,' and bo
came in order that, after the most
carefull scientific testing, glasses
might be supplied, and the cause of
all the trouble removed.
If yon Buffer from headaches, If
the print Mara when reading, If
you caanot sew or knit as onee yon
did Jt Is certain that eye strain Is
present
Why should you wa t to worry
along with bad eyes and Buffer head
aches and other disorders, which are
caused by eye s'.rainT when Dr. Men
delsohn will give you entire relief for
a comparative small cost and guaran
tee satisfaction n every respect
Dr. Mendelsohn 1b endorsed by all
of the physicians of the city and all
the leading occullets of Portland.

The cause of all skin diseases can bs traced to spas humor or acid la
the blood; the cuticle la always healthy wh'w tlia circulation Is free from
impurities. When the blood is Infected with acrid or unhealthy matter it
cannot perform it natural work of nourialiing tho skin, regulating its tem
perature end preserving Its normal sc'tnoss, pliability and healthfulness.
Instead it Irritates and lnflamos tiiO tlalicata fibres oni tissues around the
porca r.TvJ c'.itkIs and produces torn of the mar? forms of Bkin diaense.
The Itching r.nd stinging so often accompanying skin affections are produced
by the dspvsit from tho blood of tho acrid humors with which It Is filled,
into the sersitlve membranous flesh lying Just bone.-ith the outer covering,
and surrounding the countless nerves, pores and glands. This explains why
scratching tho outer skia affords no relief from the itching and burning.
S. 8.3. cures Skia Diseases of every character by purifying the blood. It
goss down ir.to the circulation and removes the hsmors or acids which are
causing the trouble, builds up the waa.c, acrid blood, and permanently cures
every varioty of skia affection. Local apT jcatlons can only soothe; they
never oure bocausa they do not reach the blood. S, 8. 8. gooa rifht into tho
