RUNNING roc ETH Err.

One Of the most common symptoms
of eye strain, is the blurring OF the
type when you read. For u ;ew mo-
ments everything is clear and dis
tinot but then the letters run together
and you have to stop and close your
eyes. After resting short time you
can once more see the letters dis
tinctiy, but not for long tiuue. They
soon begin to blur again. All your
reading, especially In the evenings
attended with a struggle of this kind.
The work is too hard and the eyes
simply refuse to keep Ii up without
rest. II Is an EFFORT TO focus for the
distance ct which you hold your pa
per. When the muscles give up try
ing, the eyes are out of focus and
the letters blur.
A pair Of correctly fitted glasses
will end the trouble. They will do
the surplus work and the eyes will
be at rest. They will relisvs, strength
en- and preserve your eyes.
