MAN NOT BORN TO READ.
That Is the Reason He Is Compelled
to Wear Glasses.


Many of the commOnest physical de-
fects of civilized man are due to an
imperfect adaptation Of his body TO
new conditions Of life. Nearsighted-
ness is an example.
c. w. Saleeby, the English writer on
scientific subjects, says that all the talk
about the degeneration Of the human
eye is .'undiluted nonsense" The truth
is that IMAM was not born TO read"
An instrument made for seeing long
distances is forced to accommodate it.
self TO little marks and signs on piece
of paper Says Dr. Saleeby, The eye
which we have inherited from our an
cestors is one that is used without eff
fort at long range, merely containing
within it an apparatus enabling it at
the cost of nervous and muscular eff
fort to be used at short range"
The general need of glasses arises
from the necessity in modern life OF
the use Of the eyes at short distances.
If the eye were naturally focused upon
near objects the advantage, as DR..
Saleeby admits, would be great. How
ever, be continues, "If one started to
make a list OF the bodily characters Of
man which the amazing development
Of his intelligence has rendered more
or less appropriate to his needs than
originally one would require a vol
ume"
