Face powder has it's dangers the same
a. gun-powder For several years oc.
casional eases have come under Observe
ton Of octiIists in which the patients,
invariably women. complain of vision be-
ing blurred, inability to use the eyes for
any length Of time and severe itching OF
the lids. The slightest rubbing of the
lids produces marked redness of the
eyes and only aggravates the itching. Ia
severe cases the lids are frequently swol-
len from constant rubbing. There il
sticky elastic secretion which, when be-
ing removed, pulls out i'm long strings.
Microscopic examination of the secretion
reveals masses OF what appear To bc
crystals. Until recently no satisfactory
explanation Of the presence OF these
crystals in the eye has been given. Score
ton taken from the eyes of two sisters
suffering from this peculiar complaint
were submitted TO the professor of path
ology OF one OF the university medical
schools, who found that the crystals came
from rice face powder Seven other
patients in which the same symptoms
and microscopic conditions were found

which s aggravated by rubbing. Those
who use n chamos-skin IN applying the

for the condition not being found i'm

condition is quickly relieved by flushing
the eye with boric acid solution. The
irritation rapidly disappears when the
eyes are kept washed out with soothing
