EXTENDED VISIT. BLENHBrM IN AN OPTICAL BOOM. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITY. MR. WATSON.HEINE, G. 5.0.1., D.LO.C, QUALIFIED OPHTHALMIC OPTICIAN AND TUTOR OF OPTICAL SCIENCE. X HAVE PLEASURE in announcing to the residents f BLE^.™M and ! ■■' District that Mr HEINE has consented to remain here until SAIUKrDAY EVENING This Week, and I also desire to sincerely tnanii all tnose woh have so quickly and generously rsponded to my former announcement, that Mr HEINE will be consulted at my Pharmacy. OPPORTUNITY IS HERE. As stated in a former announcement that Mr HEINE is an exceptional man in the Optical Field, I knew what I was saying and fully realise the I responsibilty I was accepting in recommending those in need or passes to accept his services. lam myself an Optician -in the true- sense ot the word, but candidly admit that Mr HEINE has a superior knowledge. The extension of his time in Blenheim is clearly an opportunity to i obtain the Expert Services of an Expert Optician. SIGHT NEGLECT. TAKE EYE TROUBLES IN TIME. Sight neglect is the worst kind of neglect. Defects of vision never cure themselves. Any defect of vision will steadily grow worse unless it is corrected. Rightly fitted glasses applied early, will remedy the trouble. Every f day you neglect eye trouble makes it <x>rrespondmgly harder to overcome. Because of the limited power of the inside eye muscles eye defects constantly get worse, and, like a stone rolling down lull, they get worse faster and faster. There are many thousands of fPeottfcle-wearers who foolishly put off wearing glasses as long as they could—thought they were doing what was right, but who, after a few days of wearing their proper correction, and discovering th< immense relief and comtort obtainable, admit their foolishness, and are sorry they did not have glasses long before. . EYE-STRAIN, WATERY EYES. HEADACHES, NEURALGIA. /Eye-strain .'tself is not a disease—it is the result of a mechanical defect ~r'a; faulty shape of the eye-ball by which, the focussing of images onto the retina (inside back of the eye) is not perfect. Two little muscles inside '{each eye, called ciliary muscles, become overworked and over-strained, and !this in its turn leads to headaches, often exceedingly severe, neuralgia, \fratery eyes, aching eyes with a bulging; forward leeling, nerve troubles, etc. These little muscles arc-constantly doing far more than their fair share of work, and this explains why so many people—women especially— are almost constantly suffering from torturing headaches. Sometimes^ theache is across the forehead, sometimes through the temples, at other times the back of the head in the painful part—but it is there, the result of eyestrain, and can be cured by properly fitting glasses only. There is no other way to secure permanent relief. Drugs may relieve for a while, but only for a while. Use the eyes for reading writing, sewing, music, or any other forms of close work, and the eye-srain, with its accompanying headaches and nerve pains, returns. Properly-fitting glasses — glasses which accurately overcome the focussing defect, and which can only be ascertained !by careful testing, the work of the qualified optician, give lasting and permanent relief. Mr HEINE'S eye-strain and headache glasses give comiort to all who need and wear them. i / MIS-MATED EYES. DON'T SELECT GLASSES HAPHAZARDLY. But* few people have eyes that are alike. An examination of 500 of Mr 'HEINE'S optical prescriptions revealed the astonishing fact that only a few oiit of each 100 were for persons whose both eyes were alike in focussing power. One eye may be near-sighted, the other far-sighted. One may be normal, the other defective. Both eyes may have, the same kind of defect, but one double the quantity of the other. How unwise it is to try to fit your own eyes from ready-mad© spectacles—the result is apt to be that one eye is poorly fitted, and the other not fitted at all—and, of course, the trouble gets worse instead of better. Your eyes are too valuable for any haphazard work. There is only one pair oi glasses to suit each person, and that pair can only be prescribed after accurate, careful testing of each eye separately. - SPECTACLE PRICES. Mr HEINE'S charges are in no way excessive. They are reasonable, and alike to all. .Asa matter of fact, they are much less than the prices charged by many opticians who do not know the subject of optics half so veil as Mr HEINE. The prices, while alike to all, depend upon the lenses required and the frame selected. If your eyes give you any trouhloat any time in any way you should certainly have them examined. An opportunity such as occurs with this visit of Mr HEINE is only of rare occurrence. Do not. allow it to pass by. If your sight is valuable; if you cannot see as well as formerly; if reading, writing, sewing, typewriting, studying, or any other form of close work tire and strain your eyes;—make them ache, ache, ache; if you cannot see distant objects clearly, make an early appointment with Mr HEINE, and have your eyes properly attended to without further delay.
