RECREATION. 



XXXIX 



In a recent issue of Recreation I read 

 of the Marlin people refusing to send a 

 spring to a man stranded in the woods. I 

 wish to tell your readers of a courtesy ex- 

 tended to me by another arms company. 

 I wrote asking the price of a mainspring 

 to replace one I had broken. For answer 

 they sent me the spring and a bill for 

 same and credited me 2 cents for the stamp 

 I enclosed for reply. That is the differ- 

 ence between dealing with a firm that tries 

 to do the fair thing and one that does not. 

 Have never owned a Marlin arm and do 

 not wish to, as I never saw one that would 

 work right. 



I have also a word of caution for users 

 of Winchester shot guns. Do not put oil 

 in the action in cold weather. I oiled 

 mine freely and started out to hunt 

 bunnies one cold day. When the first 

 rabbit got up I snapped 2 shells at him. 

 When examined the primers were not 

 even dented. The firing pin was locked 

 with frozen oil. On trial, my companion 

 discovered that his pump was frozen, too. 

 By snapping the hammer repeatedly I final- 

 ly freed the pin, but my friend's gun would 

 not work until warmed. The next day I 

 took the action apart, wiped everything 

 dry and since then have had no trouble.

ARE YOU GOING BLIND 



Or in Any Way Troubled 

 With Your Eyes? 



Write to Dr. Oren Oneal, the Noted 

 Oculist of Chicago 



Do not allow yourself to go blind. This well 

 known specialist, by his absolutely new method 

 of painless home treatment, known as the Oneal 

 Dissolvent Method, is able to prevent blindness 

 and to cure all diseases and defects of the eyes. 

 His success is attested by thousands of cured 

 cases in all parts of the world whose names are 

 available to inquirers as personal reference. 



TEST YOUR EYES 



Do you see objects as through a haze ? 



Does the atmosphere seem smoky or foggy ? 



Do spots or specks dance before the eyes ? 



Do you see more clearly some days than 

 others ? 



Do you see better sideways than straightfor- 

 ward? 



Do you see better in the evening or just after 

 sundown ? 



Does a candle or street lamp seem expanded 

 into a large flame? 



Does a lamp or electric light seem to have a 

 halo about it ? 



Do luminous objects like the moon seem to be 

 double or multiplied ? 



Any one of the above symptoms indicate a 

 grave affection of the eyes "which will result in 

 blindness if not attended to very soon. 



Any case of blindness or any other eye trouble 

 can be successfully treated by Dr. Oneal at 

 patient's own home, quickly and at small ex- 

 pense. 



Among Dr. Oneal's recent notable cures are the 

 following: H. S. Davis, 211 Colchester St., Bur- 

 lington, Vt., cataracts Mrs. A. P. Rifle, 78 Niag- 

 ara St., Buffalo, N. Y., cataracts; Carlton Hughes, 

 316 B St., S. W. Washington, D. C, cataracts; 

 Mrs. H. Burdick, Richland Center, Wis., hem- 

 orrhage of retina Mrs. C. H. Sweetland, 

 Hamburg. la., paresis of the optic nerve. These 

 people cured themselves at their own homes, as 

 have thousands of others. 



Write for illustrated book which gives detailed 

 information, references and testimonials. It is 

 sent free to any one who is interested enough to 

 ask for it. Dr. Oneal will also be pleased to give a 

 written opinion on any case of eye disease. Address
