Mr. WORRELL IS COMING. —— FAMOUS —— London Eyesight Specialist, Visiting ABERDARE. NEXT WEEK, MONDAY, JUNE 18th, Mr. WORRELL PAYS HIS PRO- MISED RETURN VISIT TO ABERDARE AND MAY BE CONSULED FREE OF CH ARGE AT THE LIBERAL CLUB, BUTE ST. -=- Why you should consult Mr. WORRELL. IN the first place, because nearly all eyes would be the better for scientific attention. In the second place, because you cannot afford to take risks with so delicate and so important an organ as the eye. In the third place, because Mr. Worrell is one of the leading sight- testing specialists in England. In the fourth place, because no fee is charged for the examination, whilst glasses, if'you need them, will be supplied at aii extraordinarily small cost. HEADACHES. Ninety per cent. of apparently in- curable cases of headache are due to defects of the eyesight, and can be permanently overcome by wearing properly fitted special glasses. Most people suffering from head- ache never suspect that their eyes are the source of the trouble. Yet it is so, as Mr. Worrell has found over and over again. WHY I SUCCEED. I have travelled the world from end to end. In failing, faulty sight each particular case has to be treated on its merits, and it is only by de- voting precise careful study to the vision of every man, woman, and child who has sought my advice that I am able to prescribe the exact nature of lenses that will overcome the defect. If your eyesight'cannot, unfortunatelv, be corrected, 'I will tell vou so, but if your full powers of vision can be restored you will learn, by consulting me, how this can be achieved. IF you find it necessary, when read- J! ing, to place the reading mat- ter nearer to, or further from, the face than 12 or 14 inches. 2. When your eyes tire and you are unable to continue for any length of time to fix small objects, as in reading. 3. When you involuntarily frown or partly close your eyes when looking at an object. 4. When your eyes ache, smart, or water; when your eyelids get in- flamed, or when you have pain in the eyelid, orbit, temple, or forehead. 5. When you cannot bear strong light, more especially artificial light. 6. When you have any nervous de- l angement which you cannot other- wise account for. 7. When you notice that although your vision seems unempaired, yet continual use of your eyes "makes them tired and gives you a headache. 8. When you often feel you must close your eyes in order to rest them. In all these cases your eyes are affected and need immediate atten- tion, and Mr. Worrell will gladly ac- cord the same. The Eyes of Children. Mr. Worrell has made a special study of eye defects in children, and all parents who have the slightest dcuht as to their children's sight should take them to Mr. Worrell and have their eyes thoroughly examined. They will be grateful for this precau- tion and fore-thought in later years. Mr. Worrell can only stay in Aber- dare until the end of next week. Make a point of visiting him early. The opportunity will hardly occur again. To miss it now may mean a lifelong regret, and perhaps serious eye trouble; Hours of Attendance 10.to 1, 2 to 7.
