and entirely relieved or cured.
By skillful operations a few can
secure at least partial relief, but
the vast majority are doomed to
a life Of physical darkness. What
then, can be done to lessen the
evil?
PREVENTION. 4
It is much more easy to pre-
vent an evil than to cure, or Grad
icate it. Who can stay the erava-
ges of the white Plague" who
stop the progress Of typhoid ma
laria or yellow fever? The only
hope is in preventing them. So
with blindness. Well, how.
Let us consider some Of the
most prolific causes Of blindness.
The statistics gathered by the
authorities OF the State School
for the Blind at Raleigh show
that of the 494 students enrolled
during the biennial period 1910
1912, thirty became blind by ac-
cident; seventy-five were born
blind (congenital); ninety-thee
are blind from ophthalmia neon
atorum blindness OF the new
born), and ninety-nine from caus.
es not named. The question oc-
ours: Are any OF these prevent
able? Yes, many OF fthem. 1fpa-
rents had kept from their babies
sharp-pointed instruments or OBJ
jects-scissors, knives, pencils,
sticks, ETC. c.-andexplosives, many
of their children would now pos.
sess sight. If fewer cousins had
married, if fewer congentially
blind persons, the number would
have been decreased considerably
And if the eyes of every newborn
baby had received proper atten
tion within twenty -four hours at
ter it's birth; if they had beer
thoroughly washed in a solution
of boracic acid, and then one drol
of q one-per.cent solution OF sill
YER nitrate had been put in eacl
eve, at least one-fourth OF al
these children would now hav
normal eight.
These latter are the offspring
of parents at least one of whom
has led an impure life, or ha
come in contact with some on
who has. In thisday, then, @
germ theories, and germ trans
mission, would itnot be wise tha
the eyes of every child, howeve
pure and clean may have bee
the habits Of it's parents, shoul
receive such care and. treatment
Properly treated there can be n
danger; neglected, no one know
what may result. r
And the the treatment will cos
not more than ten cents and r.
quire only afew moments OF tim
Is it not worth the time? An
vet l wish to throw out one wal
ing, raise one danger sigma
Never should a stronger solutic
of silver nitrate be used than OF
per cent. And never should
midwife, nurse, nor even gene

.,erus,ds Against Blindness.

Mr.. John E. Ray, OF Raleigh
principal OF the state school for
the blind at Raleigh, has ad-
dressed to the people Of Norte
Carolina a message that all
should read carefully. He shows
that blindness is very often pre-
ventable and he tells how to pre-
ventit. He says:
One of the most distressing mis-
fortunes which can befall a person
is to loose ones sight. The larger
number Of this class Of out citi.
znes is very great-ono hundred
thousand in America alone
There are nearly two thousand
in North Carolina.
The question naturally arises
is there any means to prevent
this? Can anything be done to
lessen the number OF those thus
afflicted? Not many can be fully
and entirely relieved or cured
l,y skillful operations a few car
secure at least partial relief, but
the vast majority are doomed tt
a life Of physical darkness. Wha
then. can be done to lessen tn
evil?
