TO SAVE EYES
Is the Object of sThis Frss Prsseriptisn Try it # Yeur Eyes oive
 You Trouble.

Thousands of people suffsr from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good home remedy for every other minor aflment. 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 would. anyway, charge them heavy fee. Az a last resort they go to an optician or to the five and ten-cent store, and 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 a simple prescription that every one should use:
 grains 0ptona q table9
 ounces water
 Use three or four times day to bathe the eyes. This prescription and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean, shaEpens 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 have 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 any druggist can fill this prescription promptly. Try it and know for once what real eye comfort is.
