Strong Eyes: How Weak Eyes May Be Strengthened And Spectacles Discarded
()
About this ebook
If one were to be offered the wealth of the world in exchange for his power of vision the proposition would not be attractive.
Notwithstanding the enormous value of this power everywhere, in every walk of life, the eyes are illtreated and subjected to intemperate use.
This common abuse of these valuable organs has caused spectacles, the eye crutches to be used, almost universally while absolutely nothing is known of natural means for remedying these visional defects.
I believe that the information furnished here if acted upon will not only save thousands of sufferers from the necessity of wearing glasses, but those now using this artificial and ultimately injurious aid to the eyes will be able to cast it aside.
Strong eyes, like strong arms, can be developed and the contents of this book will tell how such results can be secured.

Strong Eyes - Bernarr Macfadden
Oh, loss of sight, of thee I most complain!
— Milton.
Preface.
Who can estimate the value of eyes the windows of the soul?
If one were to be offered the wealth of the world in exchange for his power of vision the proposition would not be attractive.
Notwithstanding the enormous value of this power everywhere, in every walk of life, the eyes are illtreated and subjected to intemperate use.
This common abuse of these valuable organs has caused spectacles, the eye crutches to be used, almost universally while absolutely nothing is known of natural means for remedying these visional defects.
I believe that the information furnished here if acted upon will not only save thousands of sufferers from the necessity of wearing glasses, but those now using this artificial and ultimately injurious aid to the eyes will be able to cast it aside.
Strong eyes, like strong arms, can be developed and the contents of this book will tell how such results can be secured.
"Eyes that shame the violet,
Or the dark drop that on the pansy lies."
— William Cullen Bryant.
Chapter I.
The Eyes.
Of all the organs of special sense possessed by man the eye is by far the most important. Indeed the superiority is so universally recognized that sight is taken as representative of sense perception in general. A man is said to view a subject told him by word of mouth. He sees a point
rather than feels it. Even odors and tastes are described by sight symbols. Per fumes are alluring, and the victim of the tobacco habit is said to awake in the morning with a dark brown taste in his mouth.
Many other animals than man have other senses than sight in preeminence. Smell is so highly developed in a dog that scientists declare that the sleeping hound following his imagined quarry dreams mainly if not entirely of scents. The cat with all of its marvelous adaptation of the eye for hunting by night locates its prey by hearing even more than by seeing. But man depends for material perception far more on sight than any other sense. He tests everything by it. Seeing is knowing
and seeing is believing
are proverbs even recognized by law, where actual sight of the perpetration of a crime is considered necessary to verify the evidence of a witness.
The reason for this preeminence is to be found in the highly developed physical structure of the eye, more specifically in that of the optic nervous system. This system is the real eye. What is commonly known as the eye is only the eye ball, which is simply the terminus of the system. Its marvelous structure is, after all, merely the end of a nerve, developed through countless ages of
