Advice to Tnoi-saml.
Men without number are at this very
hour Etraining their brain by close ap
plication to business, regardless of the
most important member of the human
body, the eye. Thousands of women
are overworking and straining the eyes
hourly and diily, not thinking when
the eyes give out and cease to guide the
hand, their abiliiy for usefullness and
enjoyment of life is done. Clerks, stu
dents and laborers from close confine
ment, and long hours' strain upon the
eyes are rapidly impairing the same.
There is no one after passing the age
of thirty, that cannot find relief and
prote.-tion for the eyes when at work, by
ut-ing a properly adjusted lense, and hold
tbe eye for years to is youthful vigor.
We cordially invite all to call upon us
at our rooms, and examine oor stock of
goods and scientific instruments for ad
justing lenses for every condition of tbe
eyes, cross eyes, nearsighted, far sighted
and all other defects.

possibly, save the Ponce de Leon in I

spared in the layout; and when
both the building and the surround-in-

have it at once. Asheville cannot
