Your eyes never get a

moment's rest. All through the day they are hard at work, con stantly focussing and re-focussing, concentrating on written and priated matter, often under artificial light and io 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.
