Eyes Tested, Glasses Fitted,
Headeache Relieved.
Headeaclie is one of the worst, yet most
common results of strained eyes. The
habitual overwork of the eyes causes
pain, and that not necessarily in or near
the eye. Many cases of neuralgia, irri
tability, insomnia, vertigo, nervous
prostration, and seeming stupidity in
children, due to defective vision are
relieved at once by correctly fitted glass
es. Frames and lenses correctly titled.
All work positively guaranteed.
