Coming To Windham At Walley's Drug Store The Eye Specialist who. practices the New System "He Looks Into the 'Eye" AN' OPPORTUNITY WILL SHORTLY BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF WINGHAM and surrounding country to have their eyes examined and glasses `tted by tile, new and wonderful ''Shadow Test" method, which does away with all machines, drops and drugs in testing, also the old but still used method of trying on glasses.,,, PROF. F. A. GRAHAM Representing the Graham Optical Institute, Montreal, is coming to fill a to days' en- gagement of Sight Testing AT MY DRUG STORE, beginning Thursday, Feb. i oth, to Saturday 19th: A new day has dawned for eyesight sufferers. This specialist has perfected a system so perfect that it has brought the correcting of imperfect sight to an exact science. No long, tedious sitting in the optician's chair to have innumer- able pairs of glasses tried to your eyes, but a new and wonderfully quick and easy method by which the inside of the eyeball is illum- inated and naturegives up the secret of poor vision. Children's, eyes can be accurately examined by this method without asking them any questions. Cross eyes can in many cases be straightened by wearing glasses fitted by this system. All examination will be made by Professor Graham FREE OF CHARGE, those requiring glasses 'paying for the glasses only. •I want this message to be an in- vitation to eyesight sufferes, to all who require a change in their glasses, to all who wish to know if the glasses they are wearing are exactly right, to all headache sufferers and to all children afflicted with cross eyes. This is an opportunity perhaps of a lifetime to many who are unable to visit these Specialists in their city offices, and I am fully convinced that those who take advantage of this visit of Professor Graham will be fully paid in satisfaction and re- sults. The -time set for free examinations each day and evening is as follows : 9 to 12, 2.30 to 6, 7.3o to 9, the evening being fully as good as the day time, as all work is done by artificial light. Please bear in mind the fact that this special en- gagement is for to days only, the first day beingThursday, Feb. to, , the last being • y y � Saturday, P'eb. r9. My message to the people is this -COME --all who need help for your eyes. I am now booking appointments. We have made arrangements with Professor Graham to take a course in this new method of Sight Testing while he is here. So after he is gone we intend to use the new method exclusively, F. 11 0 , Opt D i ALLIW'S DWI AND OPTICAL a e• STOIC WIi'GiITAIVx. a Wroxeter. roxete4 Dr..
