INJUe1NG EYE Srenr--A Specialist re.
marked that cheap printed matter arc ruin
Mug eyes splcnddly. A while ago the black
boards IN the public schools aided in sending
to us round eyed child Ell for treatment for
near slgbtedpess. The press all over the
country called attention 10 The fact, ahd
the method of Instruction in our public
schools has been changed for The better in
that respect, but new class of patients is
coming on, these cheap editions such as the
dime and half dime libraries novels, and
newspapers. When thousands upon thous,
auds of impressions are taken from one set
OF Steleotyped pates and letters are blurred
and gently smealed so that they run into
each Other, nothing being clear aud distinct
are runous TO eyesight. But not only to the
eyesght DR.. Owen IN a lecture said the
eye is The telephone Of The soul, Psychologists
tell Us that the soul, or lbe real selfis located
IN the blain, aud Psychologists admit that ),
there il soul it must be located IN the brain
because all the sensations are received at and
all the motions are airCc ed from tbat center
Grauted that the brain is the abode of the
soul would not reading matter of this kind
be also luiuous TO The soul? But ifthis kind
of leadlug matter is INDUCED in and stuck to-
will put out the eyes Of the innocent, who
if they knew the dreadful fate before them.
Errors in this life are q quantity which is
| not considered until means Of correction are
attempted Then the law or rule governing
the principle has to be ascertaiued and cal
culaton made in order to neutralize the error
aud make perfect results. Colored glasses
are also injurious to the eye. When coquille
glasses are worn for tue relief OF irritable and
sensitive eyes by Il hypelmetroplc person as
is often the case, it is easy to see how an
aggrayation of The trouble will be produced
Instead OF an amelioraton, because the
hypermeropia, which was the cause of the
irritability Of the eyes, would be lncreasedb
the use of colored glasses, and q further
cause Of irritation be added Sunlight, OF
white light is the natural stimulus to the
nervous elements of the re.ina of a healthy
eye, and as such should be easily borne
without being modified But as there arc
many eyes that are little W 3ak and irritable
and as there are many places where the glare
of the sunlight IS exccssivc,as ut the seashort
or On newly fallen snow, colored glasses
always will be more or less used. DOM
expect to get another pair ofeyes when these
have been destroyed by neglect or Ill use
but give them fair treatment and they will
serve faithfully to the end. Don't put eye
trouble off, il is not safe to do 50.
Examination free.
