Signs of Many Ailments.
In fact, the tell-tale signs Of
many an ailment can be detected
in the eyes before it becomes
apparent anywhere else. This
is because the eye is the only

The doctor is making an i'm

examination when he peers into
your eyes. For their shape, po-

well as the condition of their
blood vessels, speak volumes to
those able to read their language.
For instance, even before a
person suffering multiple scler-
osis begins to lose control OF his
limbs and speech, his eyes show
his affliction. The doctor sees
the tell-tale sign of multiple
sclerosis in an inflammation OF
the optic nerves.
A similar swelling of the optic
nerve can be the first indication
of a brain tumor. In fact, by

"A British physician says there's
a definite connection between the
state of a persons lips or eyes

DR.. John Doust studied almost
TOO patients at Maudsley Hos

He found no apparent connec-

health and the size of his feet,

found that having freckles
doesn't mean much, either.
But he says that pouting lips
are found mostly among neuro-
tics. And DR.. Doust also found
that persons whose eyes are set
wide apart are susceptible to
acute nervous depression.
Most doctors would question
the Briton's relation of such
nervous ailments to lips which

Point 10 Second Drowning

Police recovered the body of
an unidentified man who plunged
into the AnacoStia River yester-
day and today were investigat-
ing the possibility of another
drowning because of a pile of
clothing found on the Kingman
Lake bridge.
Fred Thompson, an attendant
on the South Capitol street
bridge, said he saw a colored
man walk up to the rail of the
bridge, lean over and fall into
the river.
Harbor police recovered the
body an hour and a half later.
The man remained unidentified
at the District Morgue today.
The clothing, including kahki
trousers, a T-Shirt, brown wallet
and personal papers, was found
about / am. today by Charles

. One of the most unusual mall
aides diagnosed in the eye is par

worm. Flies carry this African
disease, and, for some unex-
planned reason, once the tiny
worms get into the human body,
then tend to move toward the
eyes. There they can be easily
seen.
Even one of the apostles, Luke,
apparently realized the connec-
ton between the eyes and health.
Absorbed in the relation between
faith and well-being, Luke de-
clared:
"The light Of the body is the
eye; therefore when thine eye is
single (sound), thy whole body
also is full of light; but when
thine eye is evil, thy body also
is full of darkness"
