you already wear eyeglasses or specta-
cies? Thousands of people wear these
windows who might easily dispense
with them. You may be one of these
and it is your duty to save your eyes
before 1t is too late. The eyes are neg

entire body. After you finish your days
work you sit down and rest your mus
ces but how about Your eyes? DO you
rest them? You know you do not. You
read or do something else that keeps
your eyes busy; you work your eyes un-
til YOU go to bed. That is why so many
have strained eyes and finally other eye
blindness. Eyeglasses are merely
crutches; they never cure. This free
which has benefited the eyes
of so many, may work equal wonders
like your eye troubles to disappear as il
by magic? Try this prescription: Go to
the nearest wide-awake drug store and
get a bottle of Optona tablets; fill two
ounce bottle with water. drop in one tab
let and allow to thoroughly dissolve.
With this liquid, bathe the eyes two to
four times daily. Just note how quickly
your eyes clear up and how soon the in
will disappear Don't be
afraid to use it: it is absolutely harm
have saved their eyes had they started
to care for them in time. This is a SIM
pie treatment but marvelously effective
in multitudes of cases. Now that you
have been warned. don't delay uay,
but do what you. can to save your eyes
and you are likely to thank US as long
as you live for publishing this preserip-
ton.

Pinklets, the New Laxative,
Gently Assist Nature

The first step jim correcting constipation
is to stop the use Of strong purgatives.
Substitute for them the mild, non-griping
but effective laxative pills, Pinklets.
Strong, harsh purgatives areof little value
in the treatment of constipation because
they wear out the muscular activity of
the bowels and finally lessen their sensi-
bility to even the strongest stimulation.
The continued use of purgatives always
brings on chronic constipation instead OF
correcting it. With Pinklets you need
have no such fear. They assstthe bowels
and liver just enough to get them in pro-
per working order and SO gently. that
they are not irritated by the treatment.
Pinklets are for every member of the
family, Each bottle contains complete
directions for use. Any druggist can
supply you with Pinklets at % cents per
