PERFECT EYESIGHT is a great blessing, but once impaired, life is de- prived of many pleasures of existence. Imperfect sight becomes much worse if neglected .therefore be wise in time. Nature's penalties will not be averted by wishing or thinking otherwise. Professor Scott's Forty Years' Experience is proof of this fact, viz. that persons who have for a few years used Spectacles, selected without the invaluable guidance of oculistic knowledge, have their vision ten to twenty years weaker tharn it should be. This behoves caution. Do not put off the use of Spectacles on any pretext whatever; you did not make your eyes, and therefore you should not be ashamed with what nature has given you. All kinds of thoughtful persons will eympathise with you, and you can afford to re- gard others with unconcern or contempt. There are as many as 2,500 differing defects in the human eye. Therefore be cautious whom you consult. Much injury is done by wearing improper Spec- tacles obtained from non-professional sellers who generally have no knowledge of the wonderful delicacy of the human eye. Cheap, common, and second-hand Spectacles are irritants, and they grad- ually and permanently impair the vision. Eye- sight is a bad thing to practise economy on. Professor's Scott's prices are low enough. Profes- sor Scott will, courteously and without charge, test your vision, and also give valuable advice (free). PRICES. From Is to 10s 6d; Gold, from 15s 6d pair. It is prudent to buy the best one can afford; cheap glasses may at first appear to answer the purpose, but they eventually give the wearers cause for sorrow at their illjudged economy. No fees are Charged. Visit Professor Scott, OCULIST OPTICIAN, 37, Castle Arcade, Cardiff. (Opposite the Chstle).
