strain or other eye weaknesses? If
I so. you will be glad to know that ac-
cording to DR.. Lewis there is real

Now l can read everything without
any glasses and my eyes do not water

dreadfully; now they feel fine all the

thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in a reasonable time and
multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of
