SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. 9. "a. q. Reed

VOUR child, II going to a strictly
i modern school, is relatively
safe so far as eye troubles are
concerned. Much supervision now
Is given to the eyes of pupils
in all progressive communities.
This, however, does not in the
least relieve you of the respon-
sibilitY of giving attention to
the condition of your children's
eyes,
l wish today to call your at
tention to one such condition
that may easily escape your
attention. 1t not only occurs
but is rather common during
early school years. 1t Is a form
of inflammation, and the doctors
call 1t phlyctenular conjectivitis
and keratitis. 1t is an inflam-
nation of the membrane cover
ing the white of the eye and
lids, and also of the thin. trans
parent layer that lies over the
dark part OF the eye. It Is a
disease OF neglect pure and
simple. 1t belongs especially to
the third, fourth and fifth years,
especially the fifth of life. DR..
Bishop Harmon explains that the
reason why 1t is more or less
confined TO this age is that
then Is the time when there
is most decay Of the milk teeth.
The nerves Of the part Of the
eye affected are attached to
the same branches as those
which supply the upper teeth, and
besides the eye trouble, the child
also suffers from nasal catafrh,
and Is liable to shingles and
irnpetigo. All this may be true,
but 1t Il germs rather than
nerves that must explain the
disease.

followed, ii viii probably recover.

foreign bodies are removable with

when anything gets into an eye
there is always a certain risk.
The dust, metal, or whatever it
is, may be septic--that is to say,
it has germs on it--and the first
thing to do is to wash the eve
