Forty hours devotion, which TO SAVE EYES Is the Object of This Free Prescrip- tion.—Try It If Your Eyes Give You Trouble. - . Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do mot know what to do. They know some good remedy for every other minor ailment, but none for their eye trou- bles. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist, who would anyway, charge them a heavy fee. As a last resort they go to an optician or to the five and ten cent store, and oftentimes get glasses that they do not need, or which, after being used two or three months, do their eyes more injury than good. Here Is a simplé prescription that every one should use: 5 grains Optona (1 tablet.) 2. ounces water. Use three or four times a day to bathe the eyes. This prescription and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes inflammation angd irritation; weak, watery, over- worked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefitted and oftentimes cured by its use. Many reports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after a few weeks’ use. Tt is good for the eyes and contains no Ingredient which would injure the most sensitive eyes of an infant or the aged. Any drug- gist can fill thig preseription prompt- ly. Try it and know for once what real eye comfort is.
