HOW YOU MAY THROW
 AWAY YOUR CLASSES

The statement is made that thou sands wear glasses who do not really need them. If you are one of these unfortunates, then these glasses may be ruining your eyes instead of help ing them. Thousands who wear these windows" may prove for themselves that they can dispense with glasses if they will get the following prescrip- ton filled at once: Go to Lee and Osgood or any active drug store and get a bottle of Optona; fill two ounce bottle with warm water and drop in one Optona tablet. With this harmless liquid solution bathe the eyes two to four times daily. and you are likely to be astonished at the re- suits right from the start Many who have been told that they have astig- matism, eye-strain, cataract, sore eyelids. weak eyes, conjunctivitis and other eye disorders, report wonderful benests from the use of this pre- scription. Get this prescription filled and use it; you may so strengthen your eyes that glasses will not be nec- essary. Thousands who are blind, or nearly so. or who wear glasses would never have required them if they had cared for their eyes in time. Save your eyes before it is too late. Do not be- come one of these victims of neglect. Eyeglasses are only like crutches and every few years they must be changed to fit the ever-increasing weakened condition, so better see if you can, like many others, get clear. healthy, strong magnetic eyes through the pre- scription here given
