McCL'LLOUGH, M.D„ D.P.H., CHIEF OFFICER Y OF THD PROVINCIAL BOARD OF HEALTH. + BLINDNESS OF RABIES- 0 NE-IRALF of all the blindness is preventable. One-tenth of all the preventable blindness is due to babies' sore eyes, which is "an inflammatory disease of the eonjunctiva usually appearing with tht: first few days of life and generally due to infero -organisms." Let us state it again in simpler language. Within two days after the birth of the baby some matter is noticed in the corner of the eyes. Within - an hour or two it will be noticed that the eyes are red, and yellow pus is oozing from between the lids. A little later the eyelids are noticed to be puffed.. If a little of this pus be placed under the nticros,•ope 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, li' treatment Is delayed a single day it may be found that the sight is gone, since the disease runs a very rapid and violent course. Some mothers think that babies' sore eyes are due to the light 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 ignorauce and superstition or' the second group, but without justice, since their opinion is not nearer the truth than that of those at whom they laugh. Babies' sore 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' sore eye,s. IIe commenced the policy of dropping a two per cent. solution of nitrate of silver into the eyes of each baby as soon as it had had its bath. in sLx years the babies' sore eyes rate in hie hospital dropped from one in nine to one in four hundred. The result of this experience was a new policy in caring for the eyes of a newly -born babe. Immediately after birth the baby is given his bath and his eyes aro treated. Each eye is wiped with a piece of absorbent cotton dipped in a saturated solution of boric acid (boiled crater will do as well as boric acid solution). A separate pledget of cotton is used for each eye. The cotton is not put back into the solution after touching the eye, Next the eyelids are gently separated with the fingers and one drop or two drops of one Per cent. solution of nitrate of silver is dropped into each eye. This is done only once. It is done not to cure sore eyes tut to prevent eyes from becoming sore. If the eyes begin to suppurate the doctor must be sunt for without delay. The sight cannot be saved unless treatment is b:gun at once. THE CA.USMM OF DEAFNESS. Consanguineous marriages, heredity, infections, fevers, middle ear diseases resulting from colds, sore throats, infections of nose sinuses, and bad tonsils, tuberculosis, and syphilis, accidents and injuries, working at noisy trades, and taking quinine or salicylates in large doses aro the causes of deafness, Where both parents are congenitally deaf the percentage of children congenitally deaf will be large. Where one parent is congenitally deaf such Percentage will be small. Where there is a family tendency toward aequired.deafneas the percentage of "hard of hearing" in'the progeny will be large, Among infections diseases scarlet fever ranks first as a cause of deaf- ness. The most frequent cause of deafness is neglected' earaches, abcesses in ears chronic colds, and chronic sore throats. - Deafness and persons on, Ole road to deafness should be taught now to Bp read. A boy is to be educated through his playthings: The mother gets a series o11 different -colored ba11s. Directing the boy's attention to her lips she says, "Give me the blue ball," "No, that is the red one." Making use of different -colored objects he can be taught the lip meve- meats fol the colors and objects, He will acgttll'o a considerable vocabulary of noun,', priaoipalfy the names of objects, 1n a short time, if the mother will tails to him persistently, directing attention to the objects talked about. Neil. teach him a vocabulary of verbs by throwing, bringing, carrying, dil ,I ng, eating, playing, while descriptive words are spoken and the child's '+ ,u, eotelling the mother's lips. Taken into the out -of -door's 'world he can be taught colors from flow .,r and grass., shapes and sizes, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs from nttla,c.," beenf. A tirra0111111 must be constantly entertained, or, better, must have a mind constantly occupied, "'The deaf look comes on a child's Pace as the visible txpression of a eovi denied expreesioo."
