Aliens Foot Ease removes the friction
rom the shoes, and freshens the feet. 1t

To wearers Of ArtitciaI Ewes

Wearers of artificial yes usually re-
move their glass eyes upon retiring in
order TO rest the orbital tissues during
the hours of repose. This practice,
absolutely necessary with eyes of the
simple shell type (until comparatively
recently the only kind used), If a
d~isagreeable suppuration is to be
avoided, need not be followed by wear
ers Of artificial eyes of the double
shell type, the type most commonly
used today-this on the authority of
Doctor Coulomb whose paper on this
subject was read by Professor de
Lapersonne at a recent meeting of the
academy of medicine. This feature
of double shell eyes is attributable TO
the fact that, because of their special
construction, they permit the tears to
flow normally through their natural
channels so that the s~ecretions are
carried away instead of accumulat-
ing In the hollow Of the eye socket to
cause maceration of the tissues

forbids any abbreviation in a public
