Howmany hours
! do you sleep?
All the other houra-at least two-thirl3
of the time yoi are using your eyes.
Is it to be wondered at that nervousness,
headaches, exhaustion and serious illness
come from eye strain?
Think of keeping muscles under constant
strain for 16 hours out of 24. It is easy
to see how properly fitted glasses, which
remove the strain, improve efficiency,
health and disposition.
Have your eyes examined at Clinton's
