THE EYE IMPORTANT
The eyes Is one of the most Import
ant and delicate part o (the tody.
"Sight Is Priceless.". Glasses should
not be worn where no error of refrac
tion exists, but where an error does
exiBt they should be put on as soon
as posible and worn constantly until
the detect is cured. Wearing glassses
once does not signify that they will
always be worn. Tou can at any time
(befor the defect is cured) go back
to the poorer vision If you bo desiro.
The vision will not be poorer than It
was before the glasses were worn, but
will be more noticable on account of
having been acustomed to better vis
ion. I hare made a Modal atady at
