CROSSED EYES m CHILDREN


The subject Of crossed eyes Is re-
ceiving more attention today because
Of the increasing number Of such
cases. There are 50 many angles to
this type Of defect that only one will
be discussed In this article, that Of
crossed eyes in children. because the
child's problem Is by far the greatest
Of those suffering from the distressing
effect Of crossed eyes.
In order to understand the abnor-
NAL conditions under which the eyes
are forced to work, We must first
know something about the normal
way eyes function. In brief, let us
consider the act Of seeing with both
eyes Ut the same time, this being
termed single binocular vision. We
have two eyes ahd each eye has q
separate picture" Of external OBJ
jects. Suppose we look ct q tree -
each eye has Its own ''picture"-but
we only see one tree and not two. It
is necessary for some agency to join
the two pictures 50 that we only see
one. This agency IL called the fu-
sion sense. Without It we could not
Judge depth or distance (stereo-
scopic vision). Without this fusion
ability we could not hope to control
the movements Of our eyes. This fact
is readily observed In babies whose
eyes wander in any direction. The
fusion sense does not usually reach its
fullest development until the child is
six years old, and It Is in this six years
period that most cases Of crossed eyes
occur. Fortunately, it Is just this
very type Of case that offers the best
field for correction.
Before the fusion sense in the
brain can join the two pictures Zone
for each eye) and make one there
must be similarity OF focus; in other
words, both eyes must see with equal
clearness. II there Is q high optical
defect in either or both eyes, this
similarity Of the two pictures is i'm
possible and the brain is confused in
Its desire to fuse" and see one object
clearly. The vision In the most de-
fective eye is then suppressed men,
tally" that is. the blurred picture is
disregarded and the attention directed
TO the clearer one. Thus freed Of the
seeing instinct, the poorer eye is
allowed to turn in the direction Of
the pull of the dominant muscle
usually inward toward the nose. II
the optical error is high. and about
the same in each eye, the crossing
Is more apt to be alternating, that is
first one eye turns in and then the
other.
Sometimes parents do not know of
this predisposing cause of crossed
eyes" until the eyes have deviated;
this points to the need for an early
survey under the competent refrac-
zionist Of the visual conditions Of the
eyes of children.
A child whose eyes. cross in early
life suffers very heavy handicap.
Not only is such child an object Of
ridicule by other children, but unless
the case is taken in hand early
Bnough, serious damage will be done.
No one would desire to 60 through
life crossed eyed because Of the dis
but this Is not the great
est hardship inflicted upon anyone

YOUR
CHILDREN
" OzveR Rbe,zs Bu7ho
cH28 BY NRA Serv;ce.lnc

About the greatest compliment VIC
can pay person is to call him q
good sport.
Now 1t takes several qualities we'll
blended to give one a clear right to
this title. Not the least of these is q
bit Of iron in our systems that en-
ables us to ''see things through" And
just about the best time to mine some
of that iron of stick-to-it-iveness is
in childhood.
Courage is natural to some chill
dren, that is, physical courage. BY
all the laws of well-intentioned Ma
ture, behavoirists tell us that it should
be common to all. But we know that
1t isn't. Bred out or born out, most
children are physically timid.
They have to be shown bravery.
Naturally the first step is to elm
mate fear by avoidance of things that
will cause it, strengthening a child S
courage in negative manner-no
frightening stories, no reference to
the dark, no bugaboo punishments
and so on.
Putting Fear to Rout
For instance, a little girl was given
a pony. She was terribly afraid Of
riding 1t. But finally she was induced
to stay on 1t while it was being led.
Later she rode it alone while it
walked and she even shut her teeth
tight and stuck on while it trotted.
But one day it tried to keep up
with horse and started off at q
stiff canter. Her eyes dilated and
her father could see that she was
frantic with terror. But he called
out, "Stick on, Betty! Stick on! You're
all right"
Betty stuck on for a quarter of
mile and the pony slowed down.
After that there wasn't horse in the
world she was afraid of.
A boy took a notion to sleep out
in the yard in a tent. For three
nights at two in the morning he
awakened frightened and had to be
let into the house.
The fourth morning, his father
called, you're all right, Charlie, stay
out" Charlie probably spent several
hours OF terror the first night, but
after that the silent loneliness of the
wee sma' hours had no horror for
him. His father knew the boy and
knew just what he needed.

It seems that neither husband nor

SO demean themselves as to speak to

other to overlook any marital obli-

that his socks be mended or that she
have a special dish for supper, and
she reminded him that the screens

he is fortunate in having equal vision

The success in curing crossed eyes

almost entirely upon getting the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


Kidney Stones and Oxalio Acid
Question: Interested Reader
writes: please explain the differ
ence, If any, between kidney stones
and gravel stones. What Is the cause
OF their formation and what should
q person subject to kidney attacks
|do?"
Answer: Kidney stones and renal
gravel are caused by the same con-
ditton. There is usually q lowered
alkalinity Of the blood and possibly
an excess Of oxalic acid in the diet.
Avoid the following foods: Rhubarb,
sorrel, tea, coffee, pepper, chocolate.
spinach and cranberries. No other
foods contain sufficient oxalic acid to
be injurious. Oxalic acid can only
accumulate when the metabolism OF
the body Is faulty.
Oleomargarine
Question: Miss c. G. G. asks:
Would YOU recommend oleomar-
garine as being healthful?"
Answer: In the experiments which
I have conducted with oleomargarine
have found it to be quite q whole

troubled with my tongue for q long
time. with a singing feeling. It is
getting on my nerves so I can't stand
1t. I have tried the best doctors in
Montreal and in Buffalo, and they
can't help me. so they told me to

OF causes for the singing sensation

preston Of confidence from your doc
