Every Smoker Needs an Eye Bath

If you smoke, or frequent places where the air is filled with smoke. your eyes gather quantities of nicotine. a deadly poison. very injurious to the eyes. The
 man wno smokes knows how bad his eyes feel when smoke gets into them In the morning they feel heavy and dry. and only by brisk rubbing are they able to function properly.
 Any doctor will tell you that nicotine poisoning is a frequent cause of optic nerve trouble, dangerous condition which often results in blindness. Eye baths cleanse the eyes and if every smoker could realize just how good his eyes feel after a daily bath he would rather get along without a tooth brush and tooth paste than without his eye | bath.
 If you want good. healthy eyes, free rom inflammation, aches, itching. or | burning sensations, and something which will destroy the evil effect of smoke or nicotine on the surface of the eye, go tC
 any drug store and get a package oi | Bon-Opto tablets. Dissolve one tablet ir
 a quarter glass of water and with thi,
 solution bathe the eyes twice daily. | A Bon-ODto bath is good for healthy | eyes; 1t sharDens vision, strengthens eve. | sight. anu makes old eyes feel young
 Get Bon-opto at once; a trial viii con.
 vince you that every smoker needs al
 eye bath and that Bon-Opto is a wonder
 ful remedy.
