How You May Throw
Away Your Glasses

The statement Il made that thou
sands wear eyeglasses who do not
really need them II you are one OF
these unfortunates. then these glasses
may be running your eyes instead OF
helping them. Thousands who wear
these windows may prove for them
selves that they can dispense with
glasses II they will get the following
prescription filled at once. Go to c nj
Griest q Company or and ac-
tive drug store and get a bottle
OF DIPLOMA: I'LL two-ounce bottle with
warm water and drop In one Diploma
tablet. With this harmless LIQUID solu-
ton battle the eyes two to four times
daily. and you are likely to be aston
ished at the results right from the
start Many who have been told that
they have astigmatism, eye-strain
cataract. sore eyelids. weak eyes. con-
1unctives and other eve disorders re-
port wonderful benefits from the use
OF this prescription. Get this preecrip-
tion filled and use it: YOU NAV 80
strengthen your eyes that glasses will
not be necessary. Thousands who are
blind. or nearly so. or who year glass
es would never have required them IN
they had cared for their eyes In time
save your eyes before IL Is too late.
Do not become one OF these victims
OF neglect. Eyeglasses are only like
clutches and every few years thew
must be changed TO At the ever-in-
creastng weakened condition so bet
ter see II you can. like many Others
get clear. healthy. strong magnetic
eyes through the prescription here
given.
