of meeting will probably be sought.

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 running 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
DIPLOMA; fill a two-ounce bottle with
warm water and drop in one DIPLOMA
tablet. With this harmless liquid solu-
ton battle the eyes two or 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-stratn,
cataract. sore eyelids. weak eyes, con-
junctivitis and other eye disorders, re-
port wonderful benefits from the use OF
this prescription. Get this prescription
filed and use it: you may so strengthen
your eyes that glasses will not be nee
essary. Thousands 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 be-
come one OF these victims of neglect.
Eyeglasses are only like clutches and
every few years they must be changed
to fit the ever-increasing weakened
condition. SO better see il you can. like
many others, get clear, healthy, strong
magnetic eyes through the prescription
here given.
