Eyes
Make this school year easier for your child by hav-
ing its eyes attended to now. If you protect the
naturally defective eyes of youth, you are repaid with
a strong eye in after life. Abuse the immature eye
and it will necessitate glasses—not for a few months
only, but for a lifetime.
Many a child has been a dullard at school and a
failure in after life simply because some defect in
vision made it impossible to see things clearly.
The brain gets most of its information through
the eyes, and if the eyes are defective the child is woe-
fully handicapped.
Let us examine your child’s eyes now.
