IT'S YOUR Hundreds of men and women suffer untold hard ships and pain without knowing the cause. Of no comfort to themselves or others, enjoying nothing, they are in constant distress. They resort to medicine without relief. Headaches, stomach ailments, indigestion, brain fag, and other disorders are often directly traceable to improper vision. If your eyes are at fault, and this cause is not removed, you cannot be cured permanently. If you "suffer without apparent reason, if your nerves are unstrung, look to your eyes! Correcting them may tone up your health, giving you new life and vigor. My 35 years experience in eye examinations and correct fitting of glasses assures you of an unex celled quality of service. I guarantee satisfaction in every respect ' I use no drugs, as drugs aro dangerous. I exchange your glasses, whin necessary, for one year free of charge, ' , During my 8 years in Salem I have issued over 25,000 prescriptions in .; Marion and Polk counties among them are 1500 children.
