Can Nervous Diseases
Be Caused by
Eye Strain?

The literature Of medicine goes to
prove cOnclusiyely that "a duration of
life is materially shortened by nervous
debility and the diseases which il entails.
ANY factor, therefore, in their causation
ought not to be overlooked. In the view
that Eye-Strain is a frequent cause of
functional nervous arrangements proves
TO be the correct one beyond the posi-
bility of doubt or cavil, it is not diff
cult to see that hope of marked relief
or OF ultimate recovery Is practically eX-
tended to many hopeless sufferers upon
whom drugs have eXerted little or no
benefit.
A few OF the troubles which result
directly from neglect in this particular
are Neuralgia, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia,
Insanity and Nervous PrOstration. II
