the desire to read to break the mon.
otony Of the sickroom Is strong but
the ocular systems are weak and un.

Even In health owing to the fact
that 1t Is practically impossible to

such a practice is injurious.
Many people regard their eyes as
untiring and exhaustless. Eyes are
frequently injured by exactions which
never would be demanded OF any 9TH

II must never be forgotten that the
eye is a delicate and exceedingly com.

suffering, It's endurance has limit
