e NORWICH BULLETIN THURSDAY, APRIL 2, Gk ik - cme 1914 How to Save Your Eyes Try This Free Prescription Do your eyes give you trouble? Do you aiready wear eyeglasses or spec- tacles? Thousands of people wear these “windows” who might easily dispense with them. You may be one of these, and it is your duty to save your eyes before it is too late. The eves are negiected more than any other organ of the entire body. After you finish your day's work you sit down and rest your muscles, but how about your eyes? Do you rest them? You know you do not. You read or do something else that kevps your eves busy; you work your eyes until You go to bed. That is why so many have strained eves and finally other eye troubles that threaten partial or total blindness. Eyeglasses are mere- ly crutches; they never cure. This free prescription, which has benefited the eyes of so many, may work equal wonders for you. Use it a short time. Would you like your eye troubles to disappear as if by magic Try this prescription.
