OPTICAL ANNOUNCEMENT. E A GOLDEN" OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN" THE 'EXPERT SERVICES OF AN EXPERT OPTICIAN. MR. WATSON HEINE, G. 5.0.1., D.1.0.C., QUALIFIED OPTHALMIC OPTICIAN AND TEACHER OF OPTICAL SCIENCE. XTENSION OF rjTIME.

I HAVE PLEASUIIE in announcing to the Residents of Gisborne and District that Mr. HEINE has consented to remain hero until SATURDAY EVENING This Week, and I also desire to sincerely thank all those rvlio have so quickly and generously responded to my former announcement, that Mr. HEINE will bo consulted at inv Pharmacy. O PPOItT UNITY IS H ERE.

As stated ia a former announcement that Mi'. HEINE is an exceptional man in tho Optical Field, I knew what I was saying and fully realise the responsibility I was accepting in recommending those in need of Glasses to accept his services. I am myself an Optician in the true sense of the word, but candidly admit that Mr. HEINE has a superior knowledge. Tlie Extension of his time in Gisbomo is 1 clearly an . opportunity to 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 day you neglect eye trouble makes it correspondingly harder to overcomo. Because of the limited power of_the 4?aissy * ? get worse, and, like a stone rolling down hill, they get worse faster and faster. There are many thousands of spectacle-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 the immense relief and comfort obtainable, admit their foolishness, and are sorry they did not have glasses long before. EYE-STRAIN, WATERY EYES. HEADACHES, NEURALGIA. Eye-strain itself is hot a disease—it is the result of a mechanical defect—a faulty shape of the eye-ball by which the focussing of images on to 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, watery eyes, aching eyes with a bulging forward feeling, nerve troubles, etc. These little muscles are 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 the ache is across the forehead, sometimes through tho temples, at other times the back of the head is the painful part—-but it as there, the result of eye-strain, and can bo cured by properly fitting glasses only. There is no other way to secure permanent relief. Dnqjs 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-strain, 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 tho qualified optician, give, lasting and permanent relief. Mr. HEINE’S eye-strain and headache glasses give comfort to all who need and wear them.

MIS-MATED EYES. DON’T SELECT GLASSES HAPHAZARDLY. lint few' people have eyes that are alike. An examination of 000 of Mr. HEINE’S optical prescriptions revealed the astonishing fact that only a few out of each 100 were for persons whose both eyes were alike in focussing power. Ono 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-made spectacles—the result is apt to bo 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 of glasses to suit each person," and that pair can only bo prescribed after accurate, careful testing of each eye separately.

SPECTACLE PRICES. Mr. HEINE’S charges aro in no way excessive. They are reasonable, and alike to all. As a matter of fact, they aro much less than the prices charged by many opticians who do not know the subject of optics half so well as Mr: HEINE. Tho prices, while alike to all, depend upon the lenses required and the frame selectif your eyos give you any trouble at any time in any way you should certainly have them examined. An opixirtunity such as occurs with this visit of Mr. HEINE is only of raro occurrence. Ho 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 tiro and strain your eyes make them ache, ache, ache; if you cannot see distant objects clearly,' make an early appointment with Mr. I HEINE, and have your eyes properly i attended 'to without further delay.
