Eye Glasses Should Go
Here Is His Free Prescription.
Says New York Physician.

"Many who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care
is necessary. The eyes Of old and
young should be properly bathed night
and morning. This is more important
than cleansing teeth" says he and
then he goes on to say:
''The following treatment is worthy
of fullest confidence. 1t is scientific
Immediately effective and positively
harmless to the weakest of eyes. Go
to any drug store, get tube of Optona
tablets, dissolve one in two-ounee
bottle of pure water and battle the eyes
two to four times daily. What is gen
orally known as eye strain will soon be
banished while the muscles and nerves
are permitted to perform their normal
functions. 1t helps diseased eyes and
it keeps good eyes healthy; it is alb
solutely harmless in every way; does
not smart or burn, has u wonderful
effect on granulated lids and is espee-
tally recommended for dull, bleary or
CLASSY eyes. 1t helps all eyes ard
should be in every home for use in an
emergency"
The following extracts are from let
ters received from users of this pre-
seription:
~ used Optona one week for a
cold in my eyes; it did me great deal
of good"
"My eyes have been failing for
years. | am sure Optona is doing them
