Why HEADACHE POWDERS AND OPIATES If a Pair of Glasses, Ground to FitfYour Eyes, Is What You Need Why suffer with poor eyesight, watering of the eyes, blurring in reading, if we can absolutely prevent it There Comes a Time when letters blur, when lines run together and reading becomes difficult, especially in the evening. This blurring is caused by the eye not being able to focus at the nor- ‘mal reading distande, 14 inches. The vision at a greater distance is as clear as ever, and this fact leads many to believe that glasses are unnecessary; but this is just the +time the first pair of glasses are needed. By having your eyes fitted with the proper . glasses diseases, cataract, blindness may be prevented. Why do some school children with good sight require glasses? Mainly to rest ‘the eye. The eye does not obtain its ‘growth until the child is about the age of 12. “The growing ey is taxed beyond its strength; the proper glasses rest and preserve Drs.
