The Question Mark
——
Denver, Col.
Question—If one's arms become tired while palming will a black silk
handkerchief covering the eyes, produce the same amount of relaxation
one gets from palming? "R. E. F."
Answer—No. Palming is the best method for relaxation and improvement
in vision. When tired of palming, the hands can be removed and the
eyes kept closed until one feels relaxed.
Brooklyn, N. Y.
Question—Will it still be necessary to continue practicing the method
of swinging and shifting after my eyes are cured? "W. B. D."
Answer—No. When you are cured of eyestrain you will not be conscious
of your eyes. However, if you strain them you will know what to do to
relieve the strain.
East Orange, N. J.
Question—Can squint be cured by treatment without glasses after an
operation proved unsuccessful? Does age make any difference? G. A.
B.

Cleveland, Ohio.
Question—Can the vision be improved without glasses after the lens has
been removed for cataract? L. G.
Answer—Yes.
St. Petersburg, Fla.
Question—Does Dr. Bates approve of dark glasses to protect the eyes
from the glare of the sun at the sea shore?
Answer—No. Dark glasses are injurious to the eyes. The strong light of
the sun is beneficial to the eyes, although it may be temporarily
painful and blinding.

Have You a Bible?
——
You all know fine print is beneficial.
Do you practice reading it?
Doctor Bates has proven that by reading a few lines of very fine
print daily you are giving your eyes the relaxing "exercise" that will
tend to prevent many common defects.
We publish a Bible that is printed in microscopic type, and
measures one by one and a half inches and contains the new and old
Testament.
Many patients past fifty have learned to read this with ease. Send
for yours today.

Snellen Test Cards
——
There should be a Snellen test card in every family and in every
school classroom. When properly used it always improves the sight even
when sight is already normal. Children or adults with errors of
refraction, if they have never worn glasses, are cured simply by
reading every day the smallest letters they can see at a distance of
ten, fifteen, or twenty feet.
