review, and is fitted especially for
teachers. 1t will include both the

ges that all teachers take this

ing.

To whom it may concern:
This is to certify that my wife
has suffered thirteen years with
granulated eyelids and sore eyes,
and at times could not see her way;
all remedies she tried did her no
good until we heard of DR.. d. Gar
fnkle's Eye Remedy, so we decided
to give it a trial, and now am glad
to state to all my friends and the
general public that two bottles cur
ed her eyes, she can see as good as
anybody, and does not suffer any
pain at all. I do cheerfully rec
ommend DR.. D. Garfnkle's Eye
Remedy to all suffering with eye
troubles. e. NJ. MATLoCK.
