TO SAVE EYES
Is the Object of This Free Prescription Try it if Your Eyes Give
 You Trouble.

Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some gooo home remedy for every other mlnor ailment but none for their eye trou- bles. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist, who WoClu, anyway, charge them heavy fee. AS a last resort they go to an optician or 10 the live and ten n-cent store, anu oftentimes get glasses that they do not need, or which, after being used two or three months, do their eyes more injury than good. Here is simple prescription that every one should use:
 grains Optona q tableD
 2 ounces water
 Use three or four times a day to bathe the eyes. This prescription and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes the inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over worked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefited and oftentimes cured by its use. Many re- ports show that wearerS of glasses nave diScarded them after few weeks use. It is good for the eyes and con- tains no ingredient which would in jure the most sensitive eyes of an in liant or the aged. Lee & O1good or any druggist can fill this prescription promptly. Try 1t and know for once what real eye comfort is.
