"Many who wear glasses could dis pense with them. Only ordinary care Is necessary. The eyes of old and young should be properly bathed night and morning. This is more Important than cleansing teeth,” says he and then he goes on to say: "The following treatment Is worthy of fullest confidence. It is scientific, im mediately effective and positively harm less to the weakest of eyes. Go to any drug store, get a tube of Optona tablets, dissolve one in a two-ounce bottle of pure water and bathe the eyes two to four times daily. What is generally known as eye strain will soon be banish ed while the muscles and nerves are permitted to perform their normal func tions. It helps diseased eyes and it keeps good eyes healthy; it Is absolutely harmless in every way; does not smart or bum, has a wonderful effect on gran ulated lids and is especially recommend ed for dull, bleary or glassy eyes. It helps all eyes and should be in every home for use in emergency.” The following extracts are from letters received from users of this prescription; “I used Optona one week for a cold In my eyes; it did me a great deal of good.” "My eyes have been falling for years. I am sure Optona Is doing them good and shall continue its use.” "Have only been using Optona a short time. My eyes are improving wordtwfully." •1 find Optona very satisfactory and recommend it wherever I find an opportunity. I find it very sooth ing” i ‘Tvs been benefited by Optona and intend to follow the treatment." "Have been using Optona for about three months and It has greatly Im proved my sight.” "My eyes have been sore for sev eral years; were red and inflamed. Used everything recommended and galnd no relief. I had my eyes ex amined and wore glasses for six months. I read of Optona and thought I would give It a trial. Am glad to be able to state I got satis factory relief, and have not worn my glasses since. I feel my eyes do not require them.” Many others have made similar re ports. If your eyes bother you. have ths above prescription filled; It may do won ders for you. Do not become a victim of neglect. You perhaps value your eyes more than any other organ, therefore It's vouv duty to protect them. Th e free prescription has given relief to thou sands. We Make the Hoffie
