dispense with them You may be one
OF these, and 1t is your duty to save

ewes are neglected more than any
other organ Of the entire body. After
you finish your days work you SIT
down and rest your muscles, 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 until
Won 90 to bed. That is why so many

eve troubles that threaten partial OF
total blin6n sss. Eyeglasses are mere
Nv crutches; they never cure. This
free prescription, which has benefited
the eyes OF so many, may work equal
wonders for you. Use 1t short time
Would you like your eye troubles TO
disappear as II by magic? Try this
prescription. Go to Wilkinson d
Company or to the nearest wide
awake drug store and get bottle OF
DIPLOMA tablets; fill two-cunce
bottle with warm water. drop in one
tablet and allow 1t to thoroughly dis
solve With this liquid battle thu
ewes two to four times daily. Just
Tote how quickly your eyes clear UP
and how soon the Inflammation will
disappear. Don't be afraid to use It.
II Is absolutely harmless. Many who
are now blind might have saved their
ewes had they started to care for
them in time. This Is simple treat
ment, but marvelously effective in
multitudes Of cases. Now that you
have been warned don't delay day,
but do what you can to save ySu:
ewes and you ara likely to thank US
az long as you live for publishing
