One-tenth `of all the, preventable blindness is due to babies' sore eyes, which is "an inflammatory disease of the conjunctiva usually appearing with the first few days of life and generally due to micro-organisms." Let us state it again in simpler language. Within two days after the birth of the baby some matter is noticed an the corner of the eyes, Wi Id in an hour or two it will be noticed that the eyes are red, and yellow pus iF oozing from between the lids. A little later -the eyelids are noticed lio be puffed.If a little of this pus be placed under the microscope it will be seen that the suppuration is due to pus germs, ; • Babies'' sore eyes is preventable, is contagious, is curable if treatment is started early. 1f: treatment is delayed' a single day it may be found that the'sight is gone,+•aince'the disease runs a very rapid and violent course. Some mothers' think that babies' sore.,eyes 'are due to the night or to cold. Some even think that it is due to„ -the conjure put on the baby by 'some evil person. ..The first group of mothers laugh at the ignorance and saiperstition of the second group, but without justice, since their opinion is not nearer the truth than that of those..at whom they laugh. • Babies'` sole eyes are an ,infection and -are due to pus cocci getting into 'the eye during• birth,' at the time of birth', or soon after. Thirty-six years ago an hospital surgeon, by name Crede, noted that one=ninth of the babies born in his hospital developed babies' -;;'ore eyes. He commenced the policy of dropping a'two per cent, solution of nitrate of ,silver into the eyes, of each'•baby:as soon as it haci had its batli'a,:In SIX years; thebabies' sore eyes Tate inhis hospital dropped° from one in nine to one in four hundred. The'' exult of, this ei+perience was a :new policy, in caring for' the eyes ' ! • abe 'Imniedrately„after birth the, baby is given his bath of., a newly -born b .and' his eyes axe treated. Each.'` eye is wiped ;with a piece of absorbent boric acid' boiled water will"do <s cotton.:• dipped; in a saturated solution `,'ot b (. • well 'asberic'acid -solution), A se�iarate: pledget of cotton is used for; each o "after touching'the e Vie; eye.. The cotton is ::not put back -'into the soLuti n 3, �.' Next the eyelids are gently' separated With the fingers and one drab or two iver' drops of one per sent. solution of nitrate of sr is dropped into each eye. Tl'iis is done only once. it is done not to cure sore eyes tut to prevent eyes from `becoming sore.` I1 the eyes begin to suppurate the doctor must be sent for without' delay. The sight cannot be saved unless treatment is b.igun at once, TIIE CAUSE - OF DEAFNESS. Consanguineous "marriages, heredity, infections, fevers, middle ear• diseases resultingfrom colds, sore throats, .infections of nose sinuses, and bad tonsils, tubereulosis,'and syphilis, accidents and* injuries, working at noisy trades, and taking quinine or salicylates in large doses are the caosr:: of deafness. Where both parents are congenitally deaf, the percentage of cbildyen congenitally deaf will be large. Where.pne parent is congenitally .deaf su :'1 Percentage will be small: '-Where there is a family tendency toward acquired deafness the percentage of "hard of hearing" In the progeny crit. • be large Among infections, diseases scarlet fever ranks first as a cause of deaf- ness. The most frequent cause of deadness is neglected earaches, abeesses in ears chronic colds, and chronic sore throats. Deafness and persons ou the road to deafness should be taught holy t lip read. A boy is to be` educated through his playthings. The mother b,t •a series of different -colored balls, ,Directing the boy's attention to her.'1,.s ,She says, "Give me the bine ball, "No, that is the red oue,” iVtaking use of different -colored objects he can be taught the lip move- ments for the colors and objects, He willacquire as considerable vocabulary ',of nouns., principally the names of object's, in a. short time, if the inolder will talk to him Persistently, directing attention to the objects talked ,a.botY.,; Next, teach him a vocabulary of verbs by throwing; bringing, b'airyin.;; •drinitirrg, eating, playing, tivliild dcscr`ptfvc words are spoken and the eyes are watching the mother's lips. be out -of -door's tsortd he. can ' be taii''rht colors fro t Taken into t e It , ; a ; sizes:adjective's, verbs and adverbs fro , fl0wei.,.aud brass, shapes and ..
