1.-THE army test. Hold this Is
inches away and count the spots.
If your sight is perfect you can
read the following paragraph 20
inches away.
Most diseases march in step
with the advance OF civilization,
but troubles with and diseases OF
the eyes are galloping through the
length and breadth of our country,
leaving us and our children with
sightless eyeballs.
The Reason? Few are taught
how to use the eyes, and second
ly uric acid in the blood has a
strong affinity for the optic nerve.
If your eyesight is failing, il you
have specks and blurs before your
eyes, you are the victim of kid
ney disease, and no time should
be lost in securing and using War
ner's Safe Cure, which will put
overworked and diseased kidneys in
good health, and the excess of uric
acid will be driven from the sys-
tenn instead of passing into and
poisoning it. Failing eyesight in
eight cases out of ten is dan
ger signal which should be needed.
