Protecting the Babies Eyes.

Babies in Maryland-in fact babies
all over the world-have profted from
the discovery made over forty years
ago by Creole, doctor in maternity
hospital in Leipsic, that babies eyes
could be protected from the dangerous
infections that formerly left so many
of them sightless for life, by placing
one or two drops of certain solution
in each eye Of the new born baby.
Twenty-Five years ago, one out of
every three children admitted to the
schools for the blind, in the United
States, was blind as the result of in
fections picked up at the time of birth.
BY last year, the number had been
reduced to about one out of every
! ten.
In the Maryland School for the
Blind, out Of a total of 101 pupils
attending the school in 1925, 10 had
been made blind by such infections;
but of the 16 new pupils admitted that
year, none was reported to have been
blinded by birth infections. The same
was true of the four children admitted
that year to the Colored School for
the Blind
Speaking of the measures that are
taken to protect the babies sight, DR.,
John S. Fulton, Director of the State
Department Of Health, said, "the con-
'dition that destroys the sight is known
as ophthalmia neonatorum, which in
simple English signifies an infama-
ton of the eye, leading to blindness
Of the new born. 1t is one of the di-
seases that must be reported i'm
mediately to the State Department
Of Health so that every possible eff
fort may be made to save the child's
sight. The only hope Of saving it,
lies in caring for the condition i'm
mediately.
ITO prevent this condition from
arising, the State Department of
Health furnishes, free of charge, to
any physician who asks for it, and
to all midwives, a supply of the solu-
ton first used by Creole, and now used
by careful physicians all over the
world. The solution comes in wax
tubes, each tube containing just
enough for each individual case. The
general use of these protective drops
at birth was not begun in this coun-
try until about sixteen years ago,
and even in that short time there has
been great Improvement as is shown
by the experience in the State Schools
for the Blind
"The germs that cause this danger
Gus condition of the eyes include
number, among them those that cause
pneumonia, erysipelis, boils and car
buncles, as well as those that cause
other serious diseases"

LONDON, Jan. 5.-1P)-The British
community in Hankow is described as
"in extreme danger" by Sir Percival

message came from the Cantonese
commissioners of foreign affairs that if
a single shot was fired the troops
could not be depended upon and would
attack the British concession Native
police in the concession refused to go
on duty and labor pickets now patrol
the streets.
The correspondent tells Of the ston-

also how the British consul general,
Herbert Goffe, was escorted to the
