Save Your Eyes
Warning to sufferers from
weak, tired, inflamed conditions
of the eye. Dangers lurk in sum
mer's dust and dirt.
ADVICE BY PUBLIC
HEALTH LABORATORIES
The eyes are perhaps the most deli
cate organs of the human body. Even
a slight inflamation may lead to seri
ous consequences, therefore all red in
flamed congested conditions of the eye
and weak, tired overworked eyes
should receive prompt attention. So
many unreliable preparations have been
put on the market that the Public
Health Laboratories of the City of New
York has arranged to supply druggists
with a remarkable preparation contain
ing valuable ingredients used in the
treatment of eye troubles by eminent
specialists. The formulas for this prep
aration will also he sent to any physi
cian of recognized standing who wishes
to use them in his private practice. It;
affords most surprising relief to weak
tired overworked eyes in ten minutes'
time, resting and refreshing them and
imparting new beauty and brilliancy.
Red. inflamed, blood shot eyes are
made white and bright in ten or fif
teen minutes at most. Overcomes
headaches and quickly restores failing
eyesight due to simple inflamed con
gested conditions of the eye. It should
always be used after automobilingr and
when the eyes are tired to preserve
the eyesight and prevent the formation
of wrinkles and crows feet which often
result from weak, tired eyes. Abso
lutely safe and pleasant to use. Ask
your druggist for "Luxotone" the du
plex eye treatment, two different hot
ties with medicine dropper all com
plete for SI.OO. Your money will be re
funded if you do not obtain plainly
visible, successful satisfactory results
within ten minutes' time. The only
genuine Luxotone Is made by th« Pub
lic Health laboratories, (Inc.l of New
York. It is sold in Harrisburg by Croll
Kellar 'and other leading druggists. I
am using Luxotone as prepared by the
Public Health Laboratories in my own
practice with excellent results. Dr
E. Sauer, M. D.
