GIVE CONSIDERATION TO EYE
10 One Of the Most Wonderful and
Delicate Organs Of the Wonder
ful Human Body.

More people are wearing glasses to-
day than ever before. But that is no
reason, says the Journal Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, for the infer
ence that eyes are any more defective
now than they were fifty years ago. It
means simply that the work Of today
is more exacting on the eyes than the
work Of the earlier time, and that
people are taking advantage OF the In
creased knowledge Of the structure Of
the eye and the means OF making 1t
serviceable. II has been discovered
how the task Of the person whose cap
ital is his eyes may be more easily
performed. Electricity has turned
night into day and made It possible
for the eye to work longer. Lenses
correct the defects Of the eye, and. by
tightening the burden, make the organ
equal to the opportunity.
The eyes Of civilization are no more
defective than those Of people living
in primitive conditions, and those Of
men are not inferior in structure to
those OF animals. The chief differ
ence is that civilized man has found
the means Of remedying the defects
and is employing It, thus adding to his
own efficiency. But this is not wholly
true. There are still persons whose
pride in the excellence Of their sight
Is refusing them the aid they need fol
comfort and efficiency. There also
are persons who abuse their eyes BY
guessing at the correction needed, IN
stead Of employing the accurate knowl
edge they may have. The eye is one
Of the most wonderful and delicate
organs of the wonderful human body
It is certainly entitled to as much
consideration as one gives his watch
