VISION GIVEN BACK
TO BLIND CHILDREN
Amazing and Magic-like Results
from Precious Food Elements-the
Vitamines.

vitamines arc mysterious. No one
has ever seen one. Yet science knows
definitely what they will do.
The knowledge OF vitamlnes has
been n godsend to countless sufferers
of certain diseases which are caused
by a lack of one or more of tho three
vitamines, A, b, and C. in tho regular
diet.
While experimenting on small anil
mails learned doctors found that omit
ting vitamine A in their food caused
an eye disease that was as bad as
the length IF It's name-xerophthnl-
mia Giving back Vitamine A to the
tiny sufferers cured them Of the eye
disease.
Not long afterward a Danish doctor
found the same kind of eye disease in
children whose war diets gave them
little or no A vitamines. He fed
these children cod.liver oil. which is
rich in vitamtne A, and they were
cured. pbAH11!
During the war DR.. II. Gideon
Wells, an eminent Chicago patholo-
gist who was in Rumania for the Am
erican Red Cross. saw hundreds OF
Rumanian children going blind. Their
food had been only cornmeai and a
soup made from bran and vegetables.
This diet was lacking in Vitamine A.
A ship-load of cod-liver oil was com
mandeered by DIR. Wells, who had
learned of tho valuable vitamine con
tent of that substance. He FED It to
the suffering children and is credited
with performing miraculous
cures of blindness than r. recorded
In the Scriptures.
Similar cures of other diseases have
been made in many other parts of the
world by supplying missing vitamines
"A, B or C. It can be readily seen
from this that a correct balance of all
three vitamines in our food is neces-
sary for our health and well-being.
For the benefit Of people who can
not easily get sufficient vltamines in
their food, scientists have found ways
to concentrate and condense the three
vitamines SO that they may be taken
in addition to regular meals. This
scientific step has raised the health
standard all over the world.
