of'TIRED 4EYES' SSi. % •■lf you were able to see your eyes through a microscope, at the end of the day, you would find all the tiny veins swollen, and the actual surface of your eyeball scarred by hard dust. You would realise, with a shock, that even a slight irritation can be the cause of really serious trouble. • Nature always gives you warning of the beginning of eye trouble—watering, redness, styes, undue sensitiveness to bright light, blurred focussing, feeling of sand in the eye> headaches, or perhaps just a feeling of tiredness. It is at this early stage that proper care is essential to avert the grave disorders that may develop. At the very first sign of strain or discomfort bathe your eyes morning and evening with Optrex—and continue this for several weeks. (If your child complains of his eyes in any way, give him the same treatment.) It involves only a slight outlay in time and expense, but it is a certain way of obtaining real, lasting eye-comfort, on which the whole joy of life depends. A slight sacrifice, indeed, considering the magnitude of the reward! You take daily precautions to safeguard your teeth, which, once lost, are replaceable; will you hesitate to care for your eyes, for which there is not, and never can be, any substitute? Optrex, based on plant extracts, is a safe and gentle tonic lotion which is extremely effective in all cases of inflammation, irritation and eye strain. At the same time it clears and tones up the eyes. It is used and recommended by Doctors and Opticians everywhere. With every bottle is given away a scientifically designed eye-bath. A leaflet describing the uses and benefits ©f Optrex will be found in every carton. Whether you wear glasses or not you should have your eyes examined regularly by a Qualified Practitioner. BRAND #YE LOTION OPTREX, which is recommended by Doctors and Opticians, is obtainable from all chemists at 4/6, triple size 9/-.
