ON THE 20th OF MARCH, 1903,

I will open an office over Turners
Drug Store in the Raines building
in Mineral Wells, Texas.
I limit my practice, and have for the past ten years, to Ophthalmology Otology, Rhinology,
and Laringology. I WILL PRACTICE IN MINERAL WELLS FOR SIX MONTHS. I
will examine every man, woman and child that comes to my office, free of charge, and give my
honest opinion about their case., If I promise them results and they fear they will not repel ve
what I jnsniie, all I ask of them is to PLACE THE MONEY IN THE BANK IN MIN-
ERAL WELLS, follow my instructions, then if they fail to receive what I promise, my
treatment will not cost them a penny.
The way to judge a man’s ability is to know of present and past work. A few statements
of work done recently, and for several years past, should be proof enough to convince the most
skeptical, yet if in doubt, call at the office for a thousand just as strong statements.
PROOF OF WORK.
Home Proof First.
I was treated in Chioago, III.,
Atlanta, Ga., Rome, Oa.and
Fort Worth, Texas, and. other
throe thous- I
and dollars on my eyes. Had
given up hopes of recovery. Was
induced to take treatment under
Dr Adams of Mineral Wells,
Texas, last summer, I oould
read the Dallas News in 60 days
as per the dootor's promise I
oan still read, and can ride over
my pasture and attend to my
own work, something I had not
done in 7 years prior to his treat-
ment, Respectfully,
W. D. Brunson,
Midland, Texas.
I was led to Dr. Adams blind
just a few weeks ago. I am 70
years old. He operated on me
for oataraot. I can. now • see to
read. Respeotfully,
Mrs Holmss,
Ivan, Stephens County.
I visited Dr. Adams' offioe a
few weeks ago. I saw several
who had been led there, but who
regained vision, henoe did not
doubt his ability. My left eye
was blind with oataraot. I was
rapidly losing vision of the right.
I was operated on and rapidly
recovered, and oonsoienoiously
recommend him. W. Y. Luke,
Brazos, Texas.

stored to vision by Dr. Adams a

oounty, was led for two years.

Hoskins, who still resides at
Jacksboro, and who had her
sons eyes straightened by Dr.
Adams after being crossed for
years, whioh numbered the six
oase straightened by the Dootur
in Texas, and Indian and Okla-
homa Territories.
I have been been in the prac-
tice of Medicine and surgery for
40 years. I was a surgeon in
the army through the Civil war.
I have assisted many of the
operators in the north and east,
especially in the eye, ear, nose
and throat line. I have assisted
Dr. Adams in many operations,
and know that hs oan not be sx- t
celled in his work.

Soma work done in January,
1003, at Jaoksboro: Mr,. J. I.
Jackson’s little girl, who has
been blind so long, has regained
her vision. Goes*»verywhere by
herself to the delight of every
one who knows her. Several
persons and three of our physi-
cians witnessed the case when
Dr Adams gave the first treat-
ment and all now say "that they
never saw a more scientific piece
of work or more perfect results.

Dr. Adams, the eye expert,
has been doing some extra sci-
entific work this week on some
of our oity people.

expresses his great delight and
appreciation to the Dootor for
straightening his eyes.

Lam passes, Texas,
Dr. Adams has been raised in
this line of work. Has had
special training under several of
the leading specialist s of Ameri-
r,u‘
EXPERIENCE in the praotioe.
Does net olaim to be a "Cure-
all," yet he claims to oure as
great a per oent as any man in
the profession today. He aleo
claims, and his past record
proves it, that if he cannot treat
a oase successfully he frankly
telle them so.
I assisted Dr. Adams last sea-
son in many operations. Know
of him restoring vision to several
persona that were blind and I
oan ooneoienoiously say that he
is an expert in hie profession.
Respeotfully, .<
J. m Luttrxll, M. D.
There le no need of any other
home proof, as Dr. Adame is too
well known in this country. For
the benefit of the doubters, will
give a few rSferenoee for years
back from some of the leaders of
the staff.-— •— .
I have been in the praotioe of
medioine and surgery for 30
years. Have assisted many
different operators. Have assist-
ed Dr. Adams in manv cotaraot
oaaes. Have assistedhim treat
many people who were led here
blind, and I Can oonsoienoiously
say that I oonsider him as scien-
tific an operator as there is in
the profession. i
Respeotfully,
E. R. Banks, M, D.
I have been praotioing medi-
oine and surgery, especially

and have assisted him in many
operations and have tent him

Work done in Cameron,Texas:
Miss Rosa Crossland was before
the officers of the oounty, hav-
ing papers fixed to admit her to
the blind asylum, her physioians
having given her up and pro-
nounced her hopelessly blind.
The County Judgs dsoided it was
advisable to take her to Dr.
Adams, the oculist, to examine
the oase. The dootor made this
statement: "I WILL GIVE
THIS GIRL READING VISION
IN 60 DAYS." She regained
reading vieion in 90 days.—Cam-
eron Inquirer.
Doubters write to any Milam
Mr. W. G. Wright, proprietor
of Thatch Hotel, Mineral Welle,

readier years; was treated by

ing vision in 30 days.
Led 22 years. Mr. J. M.

led for 22 years. Dr. Adams out
a new pupil in his Isft eye and
gave him vision to go about by
himself,
Mr. Whitmire of Adel, Texas,
had a new pupil out in each eye
a few wee cs ago by Dr. Adame.
He now sees olearly, whioh ie the
first time for years; the old pu-
pils having been obstructed for
years i:
Mr. J. L. Parker of Marble,
Fells, Texas, brought his little
girl to Dr. Adame a few weeks
ago, most blind. WO note that
she now sees nioely,through two
new pupils out by the dootor. We
oonsider it quite a scientific piece
j of work to ohange the position

the oentre of the eye, as we all
well know.
