We Cure Eye TroublesIt doesn't matter what your eye trouble is, or how serious or chronic it may be, this great Eye-Book will show you how to treat your own eyes at home. No knife. No pain. No trouble. Not necessary to see a doctor.
Our book about eyes, sent free, tells all about it: things which you ought to know, but which your doctor has never told you, and contains letters from many that have been cured.
A postal card will get the book and we will give you our free advice if you will write us a short description of your case.
Write now while you think about it.
An easy-to-resist offer from 1909...What if, for example, your eyesight was such that you couldn't actually read the free book? And don't you need keen eyesight to perform medical treatments?
In addition, the lady in the picture appears to be self-administering something closer to a cosmetic eye-lift than, say, cataract surgery. It's a temporary eye-lift, though; as soon as she takes her hands away, she will be drooping again.
And if the book and the advice was really free, how did the North American Eye Specialists stay in business?

I like the recent ad for wrinkle cure "discovered by a Mom" - because children are so wrinkled so she got lots of practice?
ArtSparker - Haven't seen that one! I suppose it depends upon the children in question, really.
There's just something about this lady that makes me not trust that she could help fix my eye trouble. I can't quite put my finget on it...
All she has to do is tie that hair back tightly and that'll leave her hands free!
Bethany - Good one! lol
Jayne - I don't think she has thought of that...
Love your site. I enjoy visiting and reading the post.
Auntie E - Thank you so much, and thanks for commenting! :)
My eyes, my eyes!
"An easy-to-resist offer from 1909...What if, for example, your eyesight was such that you couldn't actually read the free book?"
Exactly!
She should spend a little time on that hair.
Me-Me - She reminded me of Mr. Bean trying to fix his own tooth at the dentist, have you seen that? It's pretty excruciating, but he seemed happy. Happier than this lady, anyway.
Bill - She'll get to the hair after she's finished with the eye lift, I guess.
The fish I caught was this big.
Forget the eyes...do something about the HAIR!!!
Lin, you beat me to that comment! LOL!
Your clever and insightful articles have convinced me. I'm giving you an award. Do with it what you will.
Hairball - Impressive!
Lin - She can only take one thing at a time! Especially with both hands occupied.
Fitness Diva - I think we have a consensus...I need to find this gal a good hair product from that time period...
Stephanie - Thank you! :)
