Eye Exerciser" (Patented in Great Britain and on the Continent), in- vented by James Williams, 10, Beech road, Birkenhead. Those that are troubled with defective hearing and noises in the head will do wise in con- sulting Mr Williams. In case of correspondence enclose stamped addressed e avelope. Kinver Villa, Rhyd, i Tredegar, Mon„ Dear Sir,- Sept. 17th, 1917. I consider it my duty to testify to the material benefit that I have derived from the uso of your Eye Exerciser." Having suffered with my eyes for over 36 years, and consulted in the meantime the principal Oculists in London Liverpool Manchester, and Birmingham, which was all of no avail, as my sight continually de. teriorated. At last I was informed by an eminent Oculist that I was becoming blind, the idea of which was a great upset to me. Under these circumstances I was induced to go to you for treatment (which was about 20 months ago), after which, I am glad to say, my sight immediately began tc improve, and has continued to do so ever since. I remain, sir, Yours gratefully, W. Williams. James Williams, Esq., I 10, Beech-road, Birkenhead. I Rhonclda Valley, Nov. 4th, 1915. I I feel I must give James Williams, Esq., Birkenhead, a testimonial for what he did for me. I was practically blind, and had tried the hospital and several doctors, but when I went to him he told me, You will be working again within a mouth," and I was at work a day or two before the month i was up. I had tried so many things. I had just bought a house. It's a loan of 'money I had to go and see Mr Williams. But what a blessed loan it was. I laughed up my sleeve When he promised me a recovery. But here I am. a real wonder to all who knew my sad plight. There is a certain reason for my action in not disclosing my name publ:c'y, but the Rev. E. W. Davies, Too, and I David Thomas, J P., To-i Ventre, know my case well, and they will bear their testimony to the truth of my recovery. Yea, and a very wonderful recovery it was. Words cannot express my thanks. Signed by'the SufTerer. The signature is only to be used by Williams himself; not for publication. • Rhydvfantwn, nr. Cardigan, Feb. 21,1910. Mr WilliiUns.. j Mr Williams. Dear Sir,—Your Eye Exerciser has done wonders to niy eye-sight. j I have been in the Infirmary, and,I have tried the doctors j ill I had gone nearly b'.ind. However, after using your Eye Exerciser" for a short time, I am glsid to say that I am able to read my Bible now without the aid of glasses. Yours !aithfu!ly, Thomas George.

The low-spirited condition caused by derangement of the diges ive organs gives place to a welcome sensation of bright- ness and better tone the depression which accompanies many forms of dyspeptic trouble* is banished, and a feeling of cheerfulness comes in its stead. In fact, people who take Beecham's Pills generally find their spirits t5 improved and their interest in life stimulated AFTER USING this remarkably efficacious medicine. Beecham's Pills make ail the Ciifference The reason of this pleasant change is perfectly clear. Beeeham's Pills have been specially prepared to act npon the important organs which govern the function of digestion, and which, when out of order, are the cause of so much discomfort and so many ailments That Beecham's Pills do what they were designed to do, and do it admirably, is abundantly-, prov, d by their enormous sale and changeless popularity. It is we 1 to remember, there- fore, that dyspeptic depression disappears, and the outlook grows brighter after taking Beecham's Pills Sold everywhere in boxes, labelled Is 3d and 3s Od. 1 J. E.
