Many whose eyes were failing say. they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonderful free prescription. One man says, after trying it: “I was almost blind; could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without ,any glasses and my ‘eygs do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time. It was like & miracle to me.” A lady who used it s “The atmosphere seemed hazy, with or without glass, but after using mis prescription for fifteen days every- ng. seems clear. I can cven read fine print without glasses” It is believed that ‘thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to streagthen thelr eyes so as to be epiired the trouble and expense of ever ALL KINDS Pound 30c FRESH PORK 'SHOULDERS Pound 22¢ 'CHUCK ROAST :BEEF, b. ..... 20c LEANPOT ROAST 13552 116¢ "STEAKS | Swift’s Hams Pound 26 Whole or Halves Sliced Ham Poupd 35(; SMALL PORK SAUSAGE, Ib. . 28¢ LEAN SALT PORK Pound ........ 20c SMOKED Stre;'ng'tine;x : getting glasses.
