another out of plumb. There's a drawer
in front, and when he wants to open
it his struggles are enough to move
YOU to tears. He pulls at the knob, and
shakes it, and tries to loosen it with
his knife, and finally has to go to our
house and borrow the croWbar to get
the hanged thing open. And then II

three hours to get it back where it

THROW AWAY YOUR
EYEGLASSES!
A FREE PRESCRIPTION
You can have filled and use at home.

Do you wear glasses? Are you a
victim of eyestrain or other eye-weak-
ness? If so, you will be glad to know
that there is real hope for you. Many
whose eyes were falling say they have
had their eyes restored through the
principle of this wonderful free pre-
scriptiOn. One man says after trying it.:
Il was almost blind; could not see to
read at all. Now I can read every
thing without any glasses and my eyes
do not water any more AT night they
would pain dreadfully; now they feel
fine all the time. It was like a mira
Gle to me" A lady who used it says:
The atmosphere seemed hazy with or
without glasses, but after using this
prescription for fifteen days, every
thing seems clear. I can even read fine
print without glasses" It is believed
that thousands who wear glasses can
now discard them in a reasonable time
and mUltitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of
ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of
many descriptions may be wonderfully
benefited by following the simple rules
Here is the prescription. Go to any
active drug store and get a bottle of
DIPLOMA, fill two-Ounce bottle with
warm water, drop in one DIPLOMA tablet,
and allow to dissolve. With this liquid
battle the eyes two to four times daily
You should notice your eyes clear up
percepubly right from the start and
will quickly disappear.
IT, your eyes are bOthering YOU even
a little take steps to save them now
before it is too late. Many hopelessly
blind might have been saved if they
had cared for their eyes every time
