Particles in the Eye.
Old and young persons are often
sorely troubled by small hard particles
of matter that get under the eye-lids.
When children suffer in this way, their
parents may not even suspect the cause
of the trouble. The irritation may 60
on increasing for years; for the in1am-
nation strongly resembles catarrhal
conjunotivitis, which has quite differ
ent cause.
The conjunctiva (as the termination
tits In medicine always means " inAam-
nation Of" con;unctivitis means in
fammation Of the conjunctivs) il .
mucous membrane which begins near
the edge Of the lids. upper and lower.
lines them, and then, turning back,
covers also the eyeball. It thus forms
two sacs. It il exceedingly sensitive

very difficult Of cure.
A foreign body beneath the eyelid
soon infames il. Such body beneath
the upper lid is not ss readily detected
as one beneath the lower, and it il
harder to remove il.
A child that had long suffered from
what was supposed to be catarrhal in
flammation. and for which it had heen
snergetically treated, only to grow
worse, was brought to DR.. Breoss,
professor of ophthslmology in the New
York University. On turning back
the child's upper eyelid, the source Of
the trouble was found in q small bud
of cherry-tree. Relief and cure fol.
lowed its removal.
In all such cases the main thing to
do, is to evert the lid. The lower lid
is easily turned over the finger. II the
particle is beneath the upper lid, press
the lid against the eyebrow and have
the patient look down. Then seize the
eyslashes and edge of the lid and turn
the lid quickly over the thumb. Re-
move the speck with handkerchief.
and show it to the patient; for he will
often feel for some time a. il the object
were still in the eye.
