DO YOU USE FACE PoWDER7
# You Do Be Careful to Keep 1t From

# You Do Be Careful to Keep 1t From
 Getting In Your Eyes.
 Face powder has its dangers the same as gunpowder. For several years occasional cases have come un- der the observation of oculists in which the patients. invariably women. com plain of vision being blurred, inability to use the eyes for any length of time and severe itching of the lids. The slightest rubbing of the lids produces a marked redness of the eyes and only aggravates the. itching. In severe cases the lids are frequently swollen from constant rubbing. There is q sticky. elastic secretion which, when being removed, pulls out s.in long strings. +.
 Microscopic examination of the se- cretion reveals masses of what appear to be crystals. Until recently no satis- factory explanation of the presence of these crystals in the eye has been given. SecretiOnS taken from the eyes of two sisters suffering from this pc culiar complaint were submitted to the pIOlcScOA OA OL "AlC OA LhO university medical schools, who found that the crystals came from face pow der. Seven other patients in which the same symptoms and microscopic conditions were found all used face powder.
 When the powder is applied to the face with puff part of the fine dust is driven upward and lodges on the moist eyeball. The powder in the presence of the tears then becomes mucilaginous in character and is not washed from under the eyelids. The powder produces the irritation, which is aggravated by rubbing. Those who use chamOis skin in applying the powder are less liable to cause the fine dust to arise, which probably Hc- counts for the condition not being found in every woman using face pow der. The condition is quickly relieved by flushing the eye with boric acid solution. The irritation rapidly disap- pears when the eyes are kept washed out with soothing eye wash.-From Journal of the American Medical Asso citation.
