It is IMPORTANT that you should
have your eyes scientifically tested if
you suspect there is anything wrong
with them.
It is IMPORTANT that you give
them attention at once, before serious
trouble develops.
It is IMPORTANT that your glasses
should be accurately fitted to remedy
the trouble, if any.
It is IMPORTANT that you should
not trust the fate of your eyes to any
one but an eyesight specialist of rec
ognized ability and integrity. The hope
of saving a dollar may prove costly in
the loug run.
It is IMPORTANT that you should
have new glasses if the ones you are
wearing do not seem to be jiist right.
I have fitted 20,000 eyes in Har
risburg and vicinity with glasses.
I guarantee satisfaction and my
prices are as reasonable as you can get
reliable service for anywhere.

Scofield, and his most excellent snb-
I ject to be continued throughout the
! week, "Prom Genesis to Revelation,''
a panoramic view of the Bible, illus
trated by charts, has stirred up unusual
interest. Dr. Scofield is a great favorite
! in this city with both the clergy and

; Scofield will occupy the pulpit of Grace
I Metiiodist Episcopal church, and the

11 How To Get Rid of a $
o Bad Cough
J J A name-Made Remedy that 'Will |
< > »o It Quickly. Cheap and |
< | Easily Made ife
If you have a bad cough or chest cold
which refuses to yield to ordinary reme
dies, get, from any druggist li'/ 2 ounces
of I inex (.>0 cents worth), pour into a
pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Start taking
a teaspoonful every hour or two. In 24
hours your cough will be conquered or
very nearly so. Even whooping cough is
greatly relieved in thiß way.
I'he above mixture makes a full pint
a family supply—of the finest couch
i svrup that money could buy— at a cost
of only 54 cents. Easily prepared in d
minutes, tull directions with Pinex.
I Ibis Pinex and Sugar Svrup nrena
-1 ration takes right hold of a cough anil
gives almost immediate relief, ft loos
ens the dry, hoarse or tight cough in a
way that is really remarkable. Also
quickly heals the inllamcd membranes
which accompany a painful cough, and
stops the formation of phlegm in the
throat and bronchial tubes, thus ending
the persistent loose cough. Excellent for
! bronchitis, spasmodic croup and winter
——ofi ld K *flk >? t erfeCt ' y alU * taßtes K ° o( *
Pinex is a special and highly concen
: trated compound of genuine Norway pino
extract, rich in guaiaeol, which is so
healing to the membranes.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2% ounces of Pinex,"—do
not accept anything else. A guarantes
of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
ly. refunded goes with this preparation.
