Rules For Ldymdn
In rearing Eyes

the doctor will dilate the pupn OF
the eye by using atropine or some
similar substance. 1t is also a
good procedure to take an X-ray Of
the eye when some object has
penetrated it, since the X-ray will
reveal any metal materials which
may be present in the eyeball. A
magnet may often be successfully
employed in removing bits Of
metal from the eye.
Sometimes a bit of material may
penetrate the eyeball and get into
the back part of the eye where
there is a fluid known as the Wit
reous humor. Attempts are not
made to remove any object from
this vitreous humor unless its eX-
act position is accurately deter
mined and it is known that this
material is accessible; that is, that
it a be removed by means of ar
operation.
A Severe Reaction
Injuries to n of the eyes may
cause a severe reaction to the
other eye. This condition is known
as sympathetic ophthalmia and is
a dangerous disorder which may
result in the loss of the eyesight.
For this reason, whenever such
symptoms occur, an eye specialist
should be consulted at once. In
such cases it may be necessary to
remove one eye in order to save
the other one.
Injuries to the eyes should never
be trifed with. The services of q
physician, preferably an eye spe-
c%ialist, should be secured as Don
as possible.

PARKINSON'S disease or par
alysis agitans is a chronic disorder
which occurs in older persons for
the most part. However, it may
occur following encephalitis or in
hammation of the brain, which in
turn often develops after attacks
of influenza.
In more than 200 patients stu
died by Doctor Roland M. Klemme
of St. Louis, injuries accounted for
a few cases of paralysis agitans.
Hardening of the arteries of the
brain was responsible for the
condition in four of the patients,
while in more than two-thirds the
disorder was produced by encepha-
litis. In about one-tifth of the pa
tients no cause could be found.
Men had the disorder about twice
as often as women.
Symptoms of Disease
The symptoms Of paralysis agi-
tans consist Of an increase in
sweating, a disturbance of the
gait or walking, an increase in the
amount Of saliva, a set appear
ance Of the face and stiffness Of
the muscles. The patients affected
with this condition have a tremor
or twitching of the hands, shaking
Of the head and a shutting gait.
The treatment of paralysis agi-
tans has been carried out by using
various drugs with the hope that
they would relax the muscles and
relieve the twitching and other
symptoms. Such drugs as hyosine
have been used. Belladonna has
also been employed, particularly a
variety known as Bulgarian BELLA
donna. A part of the vitamin B.
complex known as vitamin BIG or
pyridoxine has been given in large
doses by injection with reported
improvement in some cases.
Operation Used
Doctor Klemme has used an OPP
grafton on his patients suffering

from paralysis agitans, and he
found that in more than three
fourths of them, improvement re-
suited and restoration of the &C
ton of the muscles occurred. A
certain area of the brain known
as the promoter cortex is the site
of the operation. By cutting this
part of the brain, he thinks that
nerve impulses may be kept from
passing down from the brain to
other parts of the nervous system.
In carrying out this operation,
of course, the premotor cortex
must be carefully marked off and
then cut. 1t is necessary to remove
part of the skull to reach the brain
area.
In outlining the motor area of
the brain or the area which con-
trolls movement, stimulation with
an electric current is employed.
An electric knife is used to cut the
premotor corteX.
OF course, this operation is one
which must be carried out by a
surgeon experienced in surgery Of
the ervou system. However,
Parkinson's disease is responsible
for such great disability and in
reference with activity that the
operation would appear to be well
worthwhile in those cases selected
by the surgeon as the type which
might respond.

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M. D.

OUR eyes mean so much to COM
fort and well-being that it be-
hooves US to guard the most pre-
cious parts Of our body. That is
why most people nowadays who
suffer from injuries to the eyes
will consult an eye specialist for
treatment.
However, in many instances the
services Of the physician in certain
towns cannot be Immediately
secured. Hence, it is important
that everyone know a few general
rules about the treatment of these
eye emergencies.
Treated as Serious
Any eye injury, no matter how
slight, should be treated as serious
until all danger of infection of the
eye has passed.
A person should not rub his ewes
when something gets into them, as
this will soon make the eyes sor.
and will do no good. The proper
thing to do if the object cannot be
easily removed is to have some
local anesthetic put into the eye
which deadens all sensation; then
the eye can be carefully inspected,
using a special light and magnify
ing glass. When the material in
the eye is located, it a usually
be removed quite easily. Then an
antlseptic lotion can be prescribed
to be employed at home.
Eyeball Penetrated

which penetrates into the eyeball,

treating Diabetes

and the bladder is distended and
enlarged. In these instances, be-
fore the operation on the prostate
gland is carried out, an opening
into the bladder is made so that
the condition of the bladder NAV
be brought back to normal and
any infection present in the blad-
der may be cleared up with proper
treatment.
Types of Operations
There are various types of OPP
GRAFTON which may be carried out
IN cases of enlarged prostate
gland. The method most often
used nowadays is known as trans
urethral resection. This is a meth
cd of operation which is done
through a cystoscope, that is, an
instrument made up of a tube with
lights which can be passed into the
bladder. With an electric knife,
part of the prostate gland which
is blocking the bladder, may then
be destroyed. In some instances a
more extensive operation is re-
quired in which the entire pros
tate gland is removed.
Following operation, every ef-
fort must be made to guard
against infection and anemia.
Blood transfusions may be espe-
cially useful. The early use of the
sulfonamide drugs and penicillin
following operation will aid great
ly in keeping infections from oc-
curing.
The modern treatment of en-
larged prostate gland is meeting
with much more success than the
treatment employed In former
years.

ELECTRIC WASHER.

from Mrs. r. J. j., Takon1a Park. J
May I put in just one last word
about electric washers? After using
one for five years, I reached only
one conclusion-you who have used
one and did not find it satisfactory
just never learned how to use it
properly.
I love to wash. I love lots of
clean clothes, clean towels and
linens, and I have them and don't
break my back over it. I insist that
my children be clean and they are.
Don't misunderstood me, they get
dirty all right, but they are clean
when put them out to play. And
what is more, my house is clean and
I mean really clean because I have
time to keep it that way. I don't
spend all my time washing. This
is machine age, so let the machines
do the hard work.
I have time to give my three
children the proper care and atten-
ton they need and that takes plenty
of time because they are very young.
ALI under 3 years, And what's more,
I love it and I love my job as
homemaker. Use the modern con-
yeniences and you won't wear your
self out!

Improving Speech

The correct use of the English
language is a great achievement and
a powerful force for advancement
in business as well as social life. BY
their tongues you shall know them.
People who talk we'll, who have clear,
courteous, polished speech will have
nothing to do with those whose
speech is uncouth, slangy, crude.
This is not snobbishness. It is in
telligent discrimination.
People who have cultivated good
speech, who have studied the mean
ing and use of words, have compiled
a vocabulary rich with meaning, re-
plete with understanding of many
things. They think with words and
their thoughts are worthwhile
thoughts. They have, through the
study of language stimulated their
ideas and they want to exchange
ideas with other folk. Hence they
choose to associate with people who,
like themselves, have studied to per-
feet their speech, their powers of
expression, and their ideas.

Dorothy Dix
Says

Dear Miss Dix: am a married
man with a wife and three little
children. Owing to business condi-
lions have had to leave the small
town In which lived when we
were married and move to a large
city, where I make a very good
living. But my wife absolutely re-
fuses to leave her mother and come
to me.
When 60 back to see my family,
my children hardly know me and
1 can see that they need a fathers
influence badly. I love my wife and
children and am very lonely with
out them, but I am not willing to
go back to the little town to live
when can do SO much better where
I am. My wife's only objection to
joining me in the city is because she
doesn't want to leave her old home
and her mother. What would you
advise me to do? DESPERATE,
Answer-Your wife certainly has
small appreciation of a wife's duty
If she is not willing to follow you
and 60 where you can succeed. Can't
you make her realize that she owes
it to you to help along your fortunes?
If your wife has no sense of her
obligation as wife; if she does not
love you well enough to sacrifice her
own inclinations for you; if she is
not touched by the thought of your
loneliness, then you will be justified
in taking strenuous measures with
her and cutting off her allowance.
Refuse to support her in her
mothers house, and until she fulfills
her part of the marriage contract,
which is making comfortable home
for you. When she has to get out
and hustle to support herself and
the children, she viii decide that the
easiest way to do it is to come to
you and let you make the living.
Evidently her mother is encour-
aging your wife in staying with her
and away from you. And daughter
will probably not be so welcome a
guest when she has no money in her
pocket.
