Interesting Ideas of Dr. A. A. Odom The Illiterate Have No Better Eyes than the Cultivated Classes. The American Indian Had Defective Eyes. The Eye Controls
 Other Disorders of
 the Body.

A few years ago young person wearing glasses was chased with the deformed, says Dr. Odom.
 The affliction was most painfully conspicuous when the subject happened to be a girl Although bewitching beauty, extreme kindness of heart and surpassing accomplishments might be her portion, yet they wero as nothing in a general verdict when spectacles with their mighty weight of unpopu- larity weighed down the other side of the scales. Spectacles were consid- cred as a personal disfigurement for which no taste, or style in dress could never hope to be thought pretty even though her natural attractions were many. Her male associates avoided streak of good luck when she secured a husband. as her disfigurement pre- vented any reasonable expectation Of desirable suitors.
 Nor were spectacled young men in favor as beaux. as those who wore glasses were considered effeminate and burdened with a superabundance of affectation.
 However. a young sman's glasses did not subject him to as much unpopu- larity as did. the same defect initiate against the social standing of young lady, yet he was a Napoleon of social art, if he could conquer in spite of his aff1iction.
 Even old age accepted glasses un- der compulsion, and fought off the in- evitab1e as long as possible.

The Conquest of SpectacIes.

But in the face of this intense pre- 5udice, the conquest of our race by the omnipresent spectacles Is one of the marvels of the Nineteenth Centu- fy.
 The remarkable increase in the use of spectacles has given rise in some minds to an apprehension that the eyesight of the race is suffering de- terioration, that civilization with its modern complex and strenuous phases 6f life Is suffering from the weaken Ing of what was formerly considered . perfect organ. Let me assure you that this fear is wholly unfounded Certainly more glasses are worn. but this is because the delicacy of the eye, It's complex construction, its proper treatment, its exact needs and its re- hation to the nerve centers are all now understood to a degree undreamed of even three decades ago.
 The study of the eye, technically called optometry, has progressed by phenomenal strides, keeping pace with the wonderful achievements in modern surgery.

The Popular FaIIacy About Indians
 Eyes.

There is a commonly accepted as- sumption that the eyes of savage races possess no defects. We are frequently told that the American Indian, sean ming the shaded dells of the forest, or looking across the treeless expanse of the prairie, had no need of spec tacles to assist his matchless vision. That is a popular hypothesis, but Q well-known authority makes the state- ment that four out of five American Indians were affected with Hypermet- rophia, which means that they pos sessed the power of adjusting the eyes for long but not for short range. In other words, while they saw naturally at long range, their view of near ob- 1ects was defective.
 With this assertion in mind, the in- creasing number of spectacles need not excite apprehension.
 It is rare that both eyes are found to be alike in either grown persons or children. One eye, or both, fre- uuently needs the attention of a skilled optomitist, but even when both are defective they seldom present the same deficiencies. The purchase of shop glasses with the same power of vis- ion for both eyes is therefore prepos- terous for any age.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-05-14
Some Physical Defects.

Physicians have discovered that ab normal conditions of the body other than visual defects may often be re- lieved by correcting errors of sight
 So interdependent are the relations of the eye nerves and the general nerve centers that the field of disor- ders to which eye strain may lead Is practically boundless. Disorders that apparently have no connection with the eye can often be traced to some optical defect.
 At Bellevue Hospital, N Y. and Rush Medical College, 1t is considered proper to investigate the condition of the eyes in any case of nerve disorder. In headache. vertigo. St. Vitus' Dance, neuralgia, and the usual nervous dis eases, 1t Is claimed that more than a possibility exists that help may be found in correcting some unsuspect- ing eye trouble.
 The relation between the eyes and the nerve centers being so intimate, my method of prescribing glasses completely removes all nerve irritation and any sympathetic nerve disorder with It's train of attendant troubles caused by errors of refraction in the eye.
 If you have bIurring vision, dizzi- cess floating spots before the eyes, nsuralria. headache. blinking. tremb- ling spells. cataract, burning and amarting of the eyes, and various other nervous affections which entail not only positive injury to the eyes. but also untold misery, you should call at once for
