Fairfield’s Photo Gallery. No man is
better known or more respected than
Bosworth, in Georgia. His specialty
of improving vision or making people
see better and perfectly, and of pre
serving the eyes, has made him a
thousand friends in every section of
the State.. He has endorsements and
a reputation that few men ever get.
Those having weak eyes, or poor eyes,
or failing eyes, or; who suffer with
headache or neuralgia, should em
brace this opportunsty to relieve all
eye-strain and improve their sight,
which relieves nervousness. He will
not return again after court for two
years and he is most Reasonable in his
charges. [2 2t
