How to Save
Your Eyes
Try this Free Prescription.

Do your eyes give you trouble? Do
you already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands of people wear
these windows" who might easily dis
pense with them. You may be one of
these, and it is your duty to save your
eyes before il is too late The eyes are
neglected more than any other organ
Of the entire body. After you finish
your days work you sit down and rest
your muscles, but how about your
eyes? Do you rest them? You know
YOU do not. You read or do something
else that keeps your eyes busy: you
work your eyes until you go TO bed
That is why so many have strained
eyes and finally other eye troubles that
threaten partial or total blindness
Eyeglasses are merely crutCheS. they
never cure. This free prescription,
which has benefited the eyes of so
many, may work equal wonders for
YOU. Use it a short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as
if by magic? Try this prescription.
Go to Kelly & Pollard's. the nearest
wideawake drug store and get a bot
tie of DIPLOMA tablets; fill a two
ounce bottle with warm water, drop in
one tablet and allow it to thoroughly
dissolve With this liquid battle the
eyes two to four times daily. Just note
how quickly your eyes clear up and
how soon the inflammation viii dis
appear. Don't be afraid to use it; it
is absolutely harmless. MANY who
are now blind might have saved their
eyes had they started to care for them
in time This is a simple treatment,
but marvelOusly effective in multi
tudes of cases. Now that you have
been warned don't delay a day. but do
what you can 10 save your eyes and
you are likely to thank US as long as
you live for publishing this prescrip-

no danger at any stage of the contest
Ringside authorities gave the winner

even
The fight was fast and featured by
an almost continuous exhibition of
boxing. There were no knOckdowns
and both men apparently were in good
condition when the final gong rang.
During the last four rounds Lewis was
at his best and referee Richard Burke
declared the showing in these preiods
warranted his decision
In the six rounds credited to Stone,
the New York fighter blocked Lewis's
blows successfully and for a brief
period appeared to be ready to assume
the offensive. Stones blows apparently
had little effect on Lewis, however, and
the advantage gained over the English
title aspirant was soon lost
Both men weighed in under the re-
quired weight Of las pounds
