How to Keep the Eyes Bright
The eyes deserve a great deal OF
attention because they are express
sive of your individuality.
So you should keep your eyes
bright. vivacious, sparkling and full
of life.
To do this. of course, you must
have good health.
Any stomach or liver disorder will
affect the brightness OF the eyes.
Much depends upon the condition
of the mouth, for many stomach
disorders have been caused by i'm
proper mastication of food and care
of the mouth.
OF course we cleanse our teeth
night and morning and visit our
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-02-07

dentist at least twice a year, but
many of US neglect TO cleanse our
tongues.
To clean the tongue daily is as
important to the health as any other
act of the toilet.
1t is most necessary to scrape the
tongue twice daily or to take q
piece of white velvet and rub it over
the tongue before retiring and i'm
mediately upon arising. Use a good
mouth wash afterward.
Puffs around the eyes are usually
caused from some kidney condition,
and one should see her physician
concerning any such condition.
You can keep your eyes bright by
bathing them in the morning with
a solution of boraclc acid and warm
water, putting this in an eye cup
and rolling the eyes as you bathe
them.
This exercises the eyes and, when
they are tired, relieves the strain.
1t is also good thing to apply
warm cloths over the eyes when
they feel tired, living down while
you have the cloths on.

Heart burn! Such Il oisagreeabI
thing! Milk of magnesia is the best
help for it. Just bites from the
common blocks can be eaten or the
more appetizing milk of magnesia.
Repeated headaches, dizziness
puftiness under the eyes, muscular
twitchings, persistent neuralgia
are all danger signals. Be sure the
doctor has specimen of urine
every three or four weeks the first
three months, then every three
two weeks. This is the biggest safe
guard you have, as pathological con
'tions which can be remedied and
which may prove dangerous If neg
iected, show very quickly in the
urine.
