ing to note that model of the

difficulty in opening her eyes after
waking For her benefit, and for the benefit
of others who may be similarly affected
would say that this phenomenon of tired
eyelidsor sleep ptosis, as it is technically
termed-as a rule signifies nothing very
serious.
1t is Of fairly common occurrence in peo-
pie who are for any reason anaemic and run
down. Worry or oyerwork, if prolonged,
may bring it on, and in such cases it passes
away with the cessation of the worry or the
obtaining Of more rest.
Since, however, it may be the sign of an
anemia due to some nutritional disturbance
continuing infection--as infection from
the teeth, tonsils, etc.-it is just as well to
speak to ones physician about it, and to
act on his advice to the desirability of
dietary changes, consulting a throat special
list, and so forth.
The chances are that he will find nothing
needful other than general upbuilding and
recuperatiVe measures. Still, the possibility
of some special cause being present makes it
advisable to seek medical counsel.
This~apples particularly if the ptosis, as
is occasionally the case, persists during the
day so as to produce a definite dropping of
one or both eyelids Oddly enough, both in
ordinary sleep ptOsis and in chronic ptosis,
only one eyelid may thus give evidence of
weakness
When the ptosis is chronic, there is an in
creased likelihood that the cause is an in

is associated with intestinal toXemia, fire.

tom.
1t may also be a symptom, on the other
hand, of merely psycho-neurotc condition.
When a rigid medical examination fails to
disclose any other evidence of disease than
the chronic ptosis itself, hysterta may rea-
sonably be suspected as it's cause.
This means that if any treatment is to be
instituted it should be PSYCHOLOGICAL rather
than medical. The sufferer from the ptosis
ought to be encouraged and aided to Guilt

Nerve specialists have long remarked that
sleep ptosis is peculiarly likely to occur to
persons of so-called neurasthenic diathesis

reason those afflicted with sleep ptosis
should always endeavor to develop poise
and self-control if they find themselves lack
