How to Save
 Your Eyes
Try This Free Prescription

Do your eyes give you trouble? Do you already wear eyeglasses or spec tacles? Thousands of people wear these windows" who might easily dispense with them. You may be one of these, and 1t is your duty to save your eyes before it is too late. The eyes 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 you go to bed. That is why so many have strained eyes and finally other eye troubles that threaten partial er total blindness. Eyeglasses are mere ly crutches; they never cure. This free prescription. which has benefited the eyes of so many, may work equal wonders for you. Use it a short time. Would you like your eye troubles to disappear as if by magic Try this prescription. Go to Lee and Osgood the nearest wideawalSe drug store and get a bottle of Optona tablets; fill q two-ounce bottle with warm water. drop in one tablet and allow it 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 flammation will disappear Don't De afraid to use it; it is absolutely harm less. Many who are now blind might have saved their eyes had they started to care for them in time. This is a. simple treatment, but marvelously effective in multitudes of cases. Now lay day, but do what you can to save your eyes and you are likely to thank us as long as you live for pub fishing this prescription.
