Episode 062: August 1924 with Nathan Oxenfeld and Charlotte Schuman

In the sixty-second episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, Nathan Oxenfeld and Charlotte Schuman read through the sixty-second Better Eyesight magazine that was originally published in August 1924 by Dr. William H. Bates, the pioneer of natural vision improvement.

Exactly 100 years later, these three 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.
