WAR AND HEADACHES.
Have you noticed that your eyes are much more tired and that you have headaches since the war started ? Everyone is reading two or three times as many paper as usual. Their additional reading causes eyestrain in eyes which had been previously capable of doing all the work they were asked to do. If your eyes were perfect, or if you had correctly fitted glasses, you could read all day without tiring your eyes,
We make no charge for testing your eyes, therefore if your eyes tire call in and ask if you need glasses. Sight Tested with Latest Scientific Instruments by H. TOBIAS.FS.M.CF.I.O,
