“Perfect Sight Without Glasses” by William H Bates, MD (1920) We offer Dr Bates's original 1920 book for free! Download "Perfect Sight Without Glasses" now. This book is also known as "The cure of imperfect sight by treatment without glasses", which is available from healthresearchbooks.com (1978 reprint). In 1943, 12 years after Bates' death, his book was republished in an abridged version called: "Better eyesight without glasses". Much of the original text was edited out, and therefore it simply is not as good as the original. |
