THROW AWAY YOUR
EYEGLASSES!
• A FREE PRESCRIPTION
You Can Have Filled and I *c at Home.
Do you wear glasses? Are you a
victim of eyestrain or other eye
weakness? If so, you will be glad to
know that there is real hope for you.
Many whose eyes were failing say
they have had their eyes restored
through the principle of this wonder
ful free prescription. One man says
after trying it: "I was almos. blind;
could not see to read at all. Now I
can read everything without any
glasses and my eyes do not water
any more. At night they would pain
creadfully; now they feel fine all the
t me. It was like a miracle to me."
J- lady who used It says: "The at
nosphere seemed hazy with or with
out glasses, but after using this pre
r ription for fifteen days, everything
seems clear. I can even 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 strengthen thetr eyes so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of
ever getting glasses. Kye trouble of
many descriptions may be wonder
fully benefited by following the sim
ple rulei- Here is the prescription:
Go to any active drug store and get
■ bottle of Optona. fill a two-ounce
lottle with warm water, drop in one
>ptona tablet, and allow to dissolve.
With this liquid bathe the eyes two
to four times dally. You should no
•ice your eves clear up perceptibly
fcight'from the start and inflammation
ill quickly disappear. If your eyes
;ire bothering you even a llttl« take
steps to nave them now before It Is
too late. Many hopelessly blind
might have been saved if they had
cared for their eyes in time.—Adver
tisement.
