Forty years ago, the medical
profession that practiced exam
ming eyes used atropin and
thoroughly paralyZed eye mus
cles to relax the cramps they
knew to be present.
We later have learned that an
instrument called ophthalmo-
4 meter gives the same informa-
ton without the permanent in
jury caused by atropin.
1t the ophthalmometer shows
the average cornea to be four
diopters fiat, then that young
eye is near four diopters far
sight. just as truly as if shown
by atropin.
The light used in the different
instrument tests, not only let us
see the things we wish to exam
inc, but stimulates the tired,
) numb, cramped eye so tt will
) more easily respond to dynamics
} and ductions.
Why, a young person that
measures four diopters far-s1ght
by the ophthalmometer is usual
ly given only a half diopter
tense, or maybe a near sight,
because the patients muscles
are cramped until she sees bet
ter with them, is beyond my un-
derstanding.
Every time 1 hear of a young
} person going invalid with goftre,
stomach, kidney, liver diseases,
etc, / turn to my files and US
ually find that the ophthalmo-
meter gave them a great amount
of fiat or irregular corneal error
that they would not stand hav-
ing corrected.
A chiId's eyes made fully nor
NAL at ten years of age will stay
} normal until forty with the
same glasses. (They never out
cramping muscles). Thus such
an honest practice would lessen
the Optical business at least
one-half. We think it would also
reduce the medicine business as
much and also reduce teeth de-
cay. Maybe, that is why it is
NOT practiced. -.
The eyes that wreck health
} most, see perfect, do not pain or
cause head ache. The numb,
paralyzing cramp is not acute
but chronic. You have had 1t
from childhood. The delinquent
feeling is natural to you, but 1t
is gradually destroying health
in the same way that sadness
and worry will disease the body.
Atropin is the last thing to put
In an eye 10 TeIIdct puL ~ ~
, hundred times better than the
} near nothing given school chill
dren.
never saw an atropin user
that gave over 1-3 of the afro
pin finding because the glasses
would not feel good at first.
Then why use It? Delinquent
eyeS-de1inquent child.
So claim the right to say
, these things and suggest that
we do not blame the children
for delfnduency

Dollar Value
And Silver
Program Hit
G. O. P. Plans Assault
on Gold Contest Bill
and Westerners Say
S Nv er Policy Is
Gripping Mining

Washington, June 12.-(AP)--A
double-barreled attack on admins
tratiOn fiscal policies was taking
shape in the Senate today with the
so-called economy bloc" opening
fire on dollar devaluation legislation,
and western senators criticizing the
silver program.
Republican Leader McNary. of
Oregon, disclosed that he was plan
ing conference of his party mem
bers to map opposition to a House
approved bill extending the Presi-
dents authority to reduce the gold
content Of the dollar and to continue
the $4,000, 100000 sterilization fund.
Joining the Republican opposition was
group of ecOnomy-minded Demo-
Gratis, led by Senators Glass, of Vir-
ginia, and Adams, of Colorado. At
the same time, Senator Pittman.
Democrat, Nevada, said he had urg-
ed Secretary Morgenthau to make
known the administration intention
about possible change in the price
of silver when the domestic purchase
proclamation expires June 80.
Pittman charged that the western
mining industry was being hamstrung
by lack Of knowledge of future sill
yer prices.
Meanwhile, Congress was pushing
its tax revision and relief programs
to meet June 80 headlines and to
increase its chances for a July adj
jOurnment.
A House Ways and Means SUBJ
committee was called to begin draft
ing a bill extending more than $780,
100000 Of excise or nuisance" taxes
and revising other levies to remove
so-called "irritants" to business. The
measure is not expected to be ready
for House consideration until next
