Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good home remedy for every other minor ailment, but none for their eye trou- bles. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is =nst sufficient to drive them to an eyé 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 eyves mor injury than good. Here is a simple prescription that eyery one should use: 5 grains Optona (1 tablet) 2 ounces water Use three or four times a day to bathe the eyes. ‘I'his prescription and the simple Optlona system keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes the inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over- lworked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefitted and oftentimes cured by its nse. Many re- ports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after a few weeks’ use. It is good for the eyes and con=- tains no ingredient which would in- Jure the most sensitive eyes of an in- fant or the aged. Lee & Osgood or any druggist can fiil this prescription promptly. Iry it and know for once what real eye comfort is. — Diamonds Diamonds Diamonds Joha & Geo. H. Bliss 126 Main Street DENTIST | DR. E. J. JONES ~ Suite 46 Shannon Bldg. J. P.
