Your Eyes, Says DR.. Lewis, Who

spared the trouble and expense of ever
getting glasses. Eye troubles of many
descriptions may be wonderfully bene
fitted by following the simple rules.
Here is the prescription: Go to any
active drug store and get a bottle of
Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto
tablet in a fourth of a glass of water
and allow to dissolve. With this liquid
battle the eyes two or four times daily
You should notice your eyes clear up
perceptibly right from the start and
Inflammation will quickly disappear.
If your ewes are bothering you, even
a little, take steps to save them before
it is too late. Many hopelessly blind
might have been saved if they had
cared for their eyes in time.
NOTE-Another prominent Physician to
whom the above article was submitted
said "Bon-Opto is a very remarkable
remedy. Its constituent ingredients are
well known to eminent eye specialists and
widely prescribed by them The manu-
facturers guarantee 1t to strengthen eye
sight 80 per cent in one weeks time in
many instances or refund the money. 1t

feel should be kept on hand for regular
use in almost every family. 1t Is sold in

dred dollars worth, representing about
four hundred dolls. The other day a
large department store in New York
City sent out for six samples of the
little fellows. The store has not or
dered yet but the ladies can't help
but think that they will. Then there
have been long distance orders from
Kansas City and other surrounding
towns. A consignment of the dolls
was sent to Estes Park to be sold in
the shop conducted there by Miss Wit
wer and Mrs. Perkins of Topeka, and
another consignment was sent to a To-
peka woman conducting a shop at an
other resort.

A Free Prescription You Can Have
FfIled and Use at Home.


Philadelphia, Pa. DO you wear
glasses? Are you a victim of eye
strain or other eye weaknesses? If
SO. you will be glad to know that &C
cording to DIT. Lewis there is real hope
for you. He says neglect causes more
eye troubles and poor sight than any
other one thing. Many whose eyes
were failing say they had their eyes
restored thru the principle of this
wonderful free prescription. One man
says after trying 1t: Il was almost
blind; could not see to read at all.
Now I can read everything without
any glasses and my eyes do not water
any more. At night they would pain
dreadfully; now they feel fine all the
time. 1t was like a miracle to me-"
A lady who used it says: The atmos-
phere seemed hazy with or without
glasses, but after using this prescrip-
ton for fifteen days everything seems
clear. I can even read fine print
without glasses" It is believed that
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

It's Easy Now to Curl
Hair to Stay Cur1ed

To curl the hair to stay curIed moth
ing equals the simple silmerine method.
If little liquid silmerine be applied with
a clean tooth brush before doing up the
hair the loveliest wavy effect imaginab BILE
will be in evidence In three hours, and this
will last long time, regardless of tenn
perature humidity.
This harmless method is not to be com
pared with curling by means of a hot iron
because, instead of fnturing the hair, 1t is
really beneficial. few ounces of liquid
silmerine, which may be procured at any
drug store, will last for months. The best
way is to divide the hair into strands and
moisten each Of them from root TO tip.
The curliness will look perfectly natural.
