They Fitted
A gentleman came to the that had a pair of glasses that seemed to work
aU'right, but he wanted to be sure he was wearing the correct thing. He
J didn't want to take any c'.iances with his eyes. If they could be bettered he S
m wanted it done, and if not he would then feel satisfied. I made a careful ex- 0
amination and found thnt the glasses fitted him perfectly. I do not know
J where he got them but they were correct in ever way. I simply told him so ?
H and charged him nothing. I wish every person in Columbia county would feel 5
just as free to consult with me about their eyes. I want my pallors to be
