Episode 054: December 1923 with Nathan Oxenfeld and Dr. Ray Gottlieb

In the fifty-fourth episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, Nathan Oxenfeld and Dr. Ray Gottlieb read through the fifty-fourth Better Eyesight magazine that was originally published in December 1923 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.
