ed and notice of appeal to the supreme

AN EYE-To-EYE CHAT.

Few people are aware of the fact
that the eyes have very decided in
fluence upon the general health of the
individual. And again, how many know
that good vision does not necessarily
mean good or normal eyes. On the
other hand, abnormal aeuteness of
vision is POSITIVE PROOF that the
eyes are anatomically defective and
that they are demanding and receiving
much greater supply of NERVOUS
ENERGY than they are entitled to;
hence other organs of the body often
suffer from the general strain thrown
on the nervous system by weak eyes
If your eyes tire easily--if your vision
blurs when you read any length of
time-if you suffer from headaches.

ailments common to eye strain-consult
