Headaches
CTALK No. 23sl

There is no doubt that more than
half the cases of chronic headache in
the world can be cured with glasses.
Statistics say sixty percent. | do not
mean that they can be cured by put
ting on just any kind of glasses
glasses that have been carelessly or
incorrectly fitted. The fact that you
have tried glasses. or even that YOU
are wearing glasses now, and still
have headaches does not signify that
glasses will not cure you. The glasses
must be RIGHT. Tie focus of each
lens must be absolutely correct. If
you have astigmatism the axis Of the
cylinder must not vary even FIVE de
grees If there is a difference in your
two eyes that difference must be fig
ured out to the smallest fraction and
the eyes placed in perfect harmony
There must not be the slightest dis
turbance in the adjustments OF the
delicate muscles that control the &C
ton Of vision II is those disturb
ances in harmony and adjustment
that cause nerve strain and head
ache. If you have headaches I shall
be glad OF the opportunity TO tell you
