The Ill Effects of Eye Strain Among
Children

Children are often times backward
in their studies, get behind in their
school work, and, to the mortified
ton of the parents, get the name OF
being stupid boys or girls from no
other cause than eye strain. If the
child complains OF dull pains in the
region OF the eyes, or is subject to
headache, looks askance or with
partly closed lids, these are symp-
toms of eye strain. and the parents
should consult competent optome-
trist.
Howard Thomas, the local optome-
trist, is especially equipped to fit the
most complicated case of eye strain
scientifically, being graduate OF
the Philadelphia Optical college, and
with a number Of years practical ex-
perience, making this speciality. -
