at the end of the day? Do you feel "all in at the End of the day's work-nervy, irritable, unable to concen- trate? Ten to one it's your eyes that are the whole cause of the trouble.

Your eyes never get a moment's rest. All through the day they are hard

work, con- stantly focussing and re-focussing, concentrating on writica and printed matter, often under artificial light and in a close, smoky atmosphere. Even when you relax they still have a gruelling time, exposed to the fast-moving lights of traffic, the flickering of a cinema screen, the constant irritation of tobacco smoke.

There's one sure way to put an end to those recurrent head- aches-bathe your eyes with Optrex night and morning. This gentle tonic lotion soothes away soreness and tiredness, and cleanses the eyes of all impurities. Optrex gives your eyes new lease of vigorous life, enabling you to tackle the hardest day's work without the slightest sensation of eyestrain.
