DH.ANSASILUVTO LECTURE am i Wj YOUR EYES vfy Your eyes are your bread winners. Take care of of them. If you would stop and think what it would mean to be deprived of your eye-sight, how utterly helpless you would be, you wouldn't abuse your eyes in the least but would take the greatest care of them always. The moment you feel that anything is wrong, if your sight is blurred, if you feel dizzy, if your eyes tire easily, you should not lose a minute in having them examined. By being prompt in attending to your eyes at the first sign of trouble you will be able to have the defect speedily and permanently cured. Clinton, The Jeweler.
