Colored Glasses
Should not be worn without intelligent advice.
Whenever an eye finds relief in a shaded or
colored fj'ass something is going wrong with
the interior of that eye that needs attention.
If it were not so the light would not irritate.
Seek advice the kind that we can give you
the kind that only can be given after a
thorough and intelligent examination.
Glasses if You Need Them,
. . . None If You Don't.
