 Failing orlmperfect Sight 
 
 Can be obvialed to a great extent, by the use of 
 properly selected 
 
 SPECTACLES 
 
 The first symptom of failing sight is the temptation to hold the 
 object a little further than usual from the eye. SUITABLE GLASSES 
 will correct this, and prtjsei-ve the sieht. Do not trust to cast-off 
 spectacles, or those used by older people, as nothing hastens the loaa 
 of sight more than the use of old folks spectacles. 
 
 From many years experience we are enabled to suiS nearly every 
 case. No charge for advice. 
 
 WE OFFER— 
 
 flOEN EYMLiSSES AT 25 CENTS. 
 Light Steel Frame Spectacles, with Case, only 50 cents. 
 
 . PEBBLE SPECTACLES, FINE FRAMES, $2.00. 
 
 And a variety of styles, for long and short sight, of Spectacles and 
 Eye-Glasses, in Gold* Grooved, Steel, Rubber, .fee., at equally low prices.

 EDITORIAL NOTICE IN THE IRISH SPORTSMAN. 5th August. 1871. page 5. 
 
 Any one who owns a valual)le ilo);, sportinjf or otherwise, is wuU aware tnat theailministration of the 
 (iniiiiary every day diet of thu animal is a matter of iio int'onsiderahlc inii)ortaiice, so mucli depending' nn 
 tlio (|nality and quantity of the food and its a])i)ropriatinn to the class of dojf or the puriKwe for which he i» 
 intended. Some dogs have dainty appetites, and are choice in the matter of food. Over-feeding is some- 
 times worse than starvation ; improper food is the cause of most of the ills that dojr-fleih is " heir to." It 
 it. therefore, incumbent on trainers and those having the care of dogs, to pay pMrti.ul;ii- nttention to this 
 importiint subject. Numerous inquiries having been from time to time addressed to us, with reference to 
 tlie Kil)rinc t'altes introduced liy Mr. Sjmitt, of London, for the purfmse of dog-feet'ing, we are induced to 
 state briefly the results of our actual exi>erienee, as well as tliat of tlie friends who have kindly commut\i- 
 ciited to us their opinions as to the value of these biscuits as food for dogs of every kind. The verdict 'n 
 ivery case has beeu one of unqualified approval. We have ourselves used the cakes (the principal ingredient 
 in which is buffalo oecf,) witli greyhounds ; and after a considerable trial we can say that we have not in 
 any instance found unfavorable consequences, while we believe them to furnish an excellent, nutritious 
 and not over-stinuilating food, convenient and inexpensive, requiring little or no prei)aration. The per- 
 centage of nieiit« varies, so as to be suitable for every class of dog, those containing the largest quantity 
 biing given to dogs requiring strength and endurance, those contiUning less being intended for more deli- 
 cate canine-pets, (hvners of dugs of every class will find, on making use of this diet in their kennels, that 
 tlie dogs will improve In every way — in skin, coat, general heaUh and condition. We esjiecially recom- 
 mend it. 
 
 Mr. Ciiaulrs I.incolx, Superintendent of the Centennial Bench Show, writes as follows : I was in a 
 difficulty as to the cooking oi so large a quantity of meat as the dogs under my charge would require, and 
 I was induced to give Spnitt's Uiscuits a trial. I um entirely satisfied with them -they were in e\ery way 
 suiicessful. I have never sent dogs away from the bench show in such good and lively condition. .Many of 
 them looked better than when they came. 
 
 Spratt's Patent Great Cballenge Poultry Food, of Oround Filbrine Cakes, l.upin and 
 Sunflower .Meal, spiced with Sinajjsis Kigra, wild mustard, a rich and nitrogenous feed. It is the greatest 
 egg producing food and fattener of Ducks and Poultry known, unequalled for raising young Pheasants, 
 Chicks .ind Duoklings. Being in itself a complete diet, without the need uf grit and ^reen vegetables, it 
 es|)ecially recommends itself to Ship Owners, and is largely used for the feathered live stock in passenger 
 8liiii.-<, and is also found of great value in feeding, during the voyage small birds exported for acclimitizatiun.

 i BETCHEB'S PECTORAL MIXTtJRE, 
 
 For Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Whooping Cough, &c. 
 
 This Mixture ha.s nobly stood the test, and the case is yet to be found where it has 
 not proved ethcacious. 
 
 It has been known to give immediate relief in chronic coughs when cuher mixtures 
 have utterly failed, and for teini)orary e(jughs and colds it is invaluaiile, for which assertion 
 I have abundant testimony. SingC's and public speakers will find ^^ of great service. No 
 harm can result from a free iise, as this is a purclv Vegetable Kxtr.^^t. It is j 'laced in the 
 market at TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PER BOTTLE, thus bringing it within the reach 
 of all. I have numbers of Testimonials from well known citizens of this city, all tending 
 to prove there is nothing claimed for it but what ii just.

 purpose, la-st sj.riny; I lieurd of your "Pectoral .Mixture," and thou^'ht 1 would "try it. The first liottle 
 relieved nie t,'re;itly, and on tinisliioij the seeond one I w;i3 well, and am now pusitive I am entirely cured. 
 You are at liberty to publish this, and I will take nle.isure in reconiniendinjr it to any one.
