HERE’S AN EYE OPENER FOR YOU! (Feb, 1929)
HERE’S AN EYE OPENER FOR YOU!
THE Electrical Show recently held in the Grand Central Palace, New York City, presented showings of several very novel electrical devices. One of the most practical inventions was a magnetic instrument for removing metallic particles from the human eye.
The human optic is very delicate and must be freed from any bit of lodged matter at once. If chips are allowed to remain within the eyelid they work into the eye-ball and nearly always cause blindness.
This machine has at last answered the cry for a painless method of removing metallic deposits from the eye easily.
Before the days of safety goggles. Lets cure the symptom, not the problem

Hang on, this won’t hurt a bit. Just sit still while we suck those metal shards right out of the old eyeball there….
