How You May Throw
 Away Your Glasses

The statement is made that thou sands wear eyeglasses who do not really need them. If you are one of these unfortunates, then these glasses may be ruining your eyes instead of helping them. Thousands who wear these Windows" may prove for them selves that they can dispense with glasses if they will get the following prescription filled at once: Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Optona; fill a tWo-ounce bottle with warm water and drop in one Optona tablet. With this harmless liquid solu- .tion bathe the eyes two to four times daily, and you are likely to be aston ished at the results right from the start. Many who have been told that they have astigmatism, eye-strain, cataract, sore eyelids, weak eyes, con- junctivitis and other eye disorders, re- port wonderful benefits from the use of this prescription. Get this prescrip- ton filled and use it; you may so strengthen your eyes that glasses will not be necessary. Thousads who are blind, or nearly so, or who wear glasses would never have required them if they had cared for their eyes in time Save your eyes before it is too late! Do not become one of these victims of neglect. Eyeglasses are only like crutches and every few years they must be changed to fit the ever
 increasing weakened condition, SC
 better see if you can, like many oth-
 CTS, get clear, healthy, strong mag netic eyes through the prescription here given.
