enlargement of the blood-vessels,to such
it size that they become visible,' mom -
ponied by an itching and a feeling 410 If
there were eust in the eyes, with pere
haps a little sticky discharge which glues
We lids together in the morning. The
eyes are also sensitive to light, and
sometimes ache slightly. ,
In more severe cases the diseherge te
profuse and yellowish, ulcers may born,
:Ind the inflammation may evenextend
le the deeper structures of the eye, and
so destroy sight.
One of the chronic forms of conjunc-
tivitis is that known as trachoma, or
granular lids. This is very difficult to
core, and often results in a permanent
lierery to Vision. It ie also quite -conks:
gious. Indeed, all forms of 'sore eye are
probably contagious, but some are more
so than others, and for this reason the
meet scrupulous precautions should be
taken to protect the other merhbere of
the family when one has any fortn of
conjunctivitis. The sufferer should
sleepin a bed by himself, and should
have Ms own towels, wash -rag or
sponge, and eandkerchiefs: and -these,
When soiled, should be thoroughly
boiled in 're separate vessel, and should
not go into the common wash.
'rhe ireatinent of simple conjunctivitis
consists chiefly in cleanliness. The eyes
should be bathed often in lukewarm
water containing a pinch of salt, or in a
solution of bark acid. and sorrie of the
solution should be drepped into the eye, .'
si as to wash away the discharge.
The eyes should be shielded 'from -the
light by smoked • glasses or goggles.
. Little squares of cloth, cut large
'enot,gh to cover the eye, may be placed
on a cake teem. When cold they can
be laid on the eye, and changed as soon
as' leterlietestee Warta. This egspileation
is often very grateful to the sufferer, and
ia useful in eubduing the Inflammation.
le the trouble does not quickly subside
under this simple treatment, a physician
should be consulted, for the eye is a very
delicate organ, and irremediable mis-
chief may result If inflamrnation.ie al-,
ewe& le run on.
A very serious form of sore eye Is
sometimes seen In new-born babies.
This. should never be trifled with, but
the doctor's attention should be called to
it at once.
Children who.sueer from repeated at -
lacks of conjunctivitis should be taken
,ibereleulist for an examination of the
eyes, 'tor it may .be that they need
*glasses. -Youth's Companion.
