Eye Strain is the pri mary cause of nine-tenths of all headaches and, powders and drugs only aggravate rather than remove the cause. Properly-fitted glasses will likely remove the cause and the trouble disappears. At any rate, consult a thoroughly skilled Optician or Optometrist, where service is paramount. Rest-glasses may be all you need. If you don't need glasses, we'll tell you so. J. S.
