Mrs. Fred Schilke, of La Grande, state president of the Oregon Con- j -J'R Uses and Abuses Correctly prescribed and accurately fitted glasses will relieve al most every case of defective vision. It seems obvious that the welfare of such an indispensable posses sion as our sight should be entrusted only to a Specialist of experience and reputation. Nevertheless, there are many who, not realizing the great importance of scientific eyetesting, actually purchase and wear glasses which are no more correct for them than would be a bottle of medicine purchased at random at a bargain sale. A common magnifying glass might enable a person with weak sight to see better for the time, yet its continued use works untold harm to the eyes by. distorting and straining their delicate nerves and muscles. To insure absolute certainty my system of eye examinations in cludes three different methods each complete in itself. The results are as near perfection as knowledge and experience can produce, enabling me to make you a pair of Perfect Fitting Glasses giving you the greatest ease and comfort of vision. ' DR.
