PROPER CARE OF
EYES KEYNOTE
HEALTH SPEECH

The Sunday health talk given at
the Sisters hospital yesterday after
noon by DR.. Howard +. Hill on the
subject 1.-THE Preservation of Vision
was very we'll attended. The lecture
room was crowded and a very in
terested audience listened for nearly
an hour to DIR. Hills talk concern
ing the eyes. The lecturer practices
in Waterville and is recognized as
one of the best authorities on the
subject of the care of the eyes in
this vicinity.
In his talk DIR. Hill very strongly
emphasized the Importance of pre-
vention of the various conditions of
eye trouble, as with the proper care
from the persons themselves and of
children by their parents many or
most of the cases of injured or de-
fective eyes may be avoided.
But in addition to this emphasis
on prevention, the speaker also
spoke of the most prevalent forms
of disease of the eye and of the
proper methods of treatment of
these various eye troubles. The
structure of the eye was considered
as essential to an understanding of
their proper care and the preserva-
ton of perfect vision.
DR.. Hill stated that today the
medical profession is endeavoring to
educate the public more along pre-
ventative lines. In the campaign for
the education of the public along
these lines the Waterville Sisters
hospital is taking an active part and
has instituted regular series of
public lectures by prominent author
tiles on the various parts of the
body and the most common diseases
In yesterdays lecture one of the
first topics to be discussed was what
is commonly known as double vision.
This is due to an uneven balance OF
the eyes, which would result in the
two eyes not shooting at the same
target.
Emphasis was placed upon the
prevention of eye injuries among
children. Wounds of the eye which
are frequent among young children
are usually due to an accident which
might have been prevented. The
improper use of scissors, knives, air
guns and similarly dangerous nipple
ments by those not old enough to
handle them carefully is the cause
of the greater number of eye inju-
ries. some of which result in the per-
manent destruction of the efficiency
of the eye.
After a further discussion and
a period of answering questions
during which time the doctor en-
phasized the intimate relationship
between the eyes and the general
health. the meeting came to a close
Announcement was made that
next Sunday afternoon the subject OF
proper diet and the abuses of diet
will be discussed by DR.. John O.
Piper of Waterville. The lecture
VIII start promptly at 3 o'clock.
