Some Eyes Ov0rwOrk

Imperfect eyes do not necesSsr-
lily mean dim vision, for quite
good vision is often obtained by
straininH. So long as the eyes
can obtain (by extra exertion)
perfect vision they will do 30.
and it is this continual effort
from morning until evening
hour after hour and day after
day-that causes much of our
headache, neuralgia, and other
nervous troubles. Such condi-
tious if allowed to 60 on may lead
to impaired sight. They should
be corrected when first noticed,
for by so doing much unnecessary
expense can be saved as well as
much better results can be OBJ
tanned. Therefore, consult w.
