HOW EYE-STRAIN KtlAKua aiuui.
Many students possessing superior minds oftimes fancy themselves dull because they
fail in their studies. , ' .
The reason is simply this: They are afflicted with so much eye strain that it requires
nearly all the nervous force they possess to fix the eye upon their books, thereby exhausting
the energy of the brain. .
Many students unwisely sacrifice their health iu attaining an education, because of tha
large amount of brain-strain sustained in the close use of their eyes, thongh their vision
seoms excellent. This form of brain-strain is easily detected by an expert and most always
remedied by glasses properly adjusted. . . , , ,
If you break your glasses don't send them away for repair, taking the chances of delay
and mistakes. Just bring the pieces to the office and I will do the rest.
