Constant attendance at moving picture shows may eye troubles similar those of eye-strain. This statement is made by Dr. George NJ.

Nothing a all' is the usual reply, that is nothing out of the ordinary. l was at the movies for couple of hours and went to bed soon as I got home, as I was feeling badly" Dr. Gould warns physicians, Ocusts and special ists to be the watchout for such symptoms and when found that attendance moving pitcure shows be considered a cause. The symptoms, he says do not differ greatly from those caused by strain or abuse of the eyes of any kind. The most com those of sick headache, a intense wearness of the eyes and brain, a dazed good for nothing feeling lack of energy and appetite upset stOmach vomiting, sleepiness and other effects If the patient is wearing glasses may think my glasses need changing But consultation with his oculist it may be found that the glasses are all right and the cinematograph is to blame.

Without proper glasses however, the cinematograph will tainly cause nervous symptoms in the patient than when good glasses Worn there dOuj4 that moving picture shows put terrific strain on the least defective eyes, while the strain is creased by glasses or lack of glasses when they are needed.
