Show Notes
In the fifty-seventh episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, Esther Joy van der Werf and Gloria Ginn read through the fifty-seventh Better Eyesight magazine that was originally published in March 1924 by Dr. William H. Bates, the pioneer of natural vision improvement. Exactly 100 years later, these two natural vision educators breathe life back into the words of Dr. Bates, and also provide some modern commentary on the topics brought up in each article.
