eyes flattened or underwent some mysterious change re quiring glasses for reading or near work with nn occasional freak who wore bi focals has faded rapidly in tho light of scientific investigation nnd tho whole truth is now an open book to all who desire to read The eye like the rest of tho child is undeveloped at birth but it attains full size before tho other parts have matured As a rule tho eye is as large ns it will be at tne age or ten years Sometimes in case of disease vitreous humor6 increase in quantity and tho pressure upon the posterior pole where the mascnla or field of most acute visual power of the retina is situated is so great that the eye is elongated creating myopia of a pernicious variety often causing almost total loss of vision If this does uot occur there may be ex ceptionnlly keen vision but the organ may uot develop and tho Btrain upon the nervo supply bo so great as to not only cause headaches and other disorders but oveu interfeio with tho growth of the

know that such unsightly defects may often be remedied by simply having the proper lenses placed in correct position before them and performing a certain routine of gymnastics every day Tho commonest cause is the error de scribed as hyperopia in one of these TnlkB nud little children succumb to tho great strain on their internal recti muscles which aro associated with the accommodative effort required to over come tho hyporopia enough to seo Both oyes turn under this influence but as that interferes with locomotion etc one is mado to turn out to its natural position whilo tho other turns in twice as much as it wonld otherwise and as tho child uses ono all the time the other becomes accustomed to use lessness so that no inconvenience is felt It is very wrong to permit this and while the little ono may bo too young to wear glasses it can bo helped for future correction if parents will put a flap over the eye most ubed and force the other to exercise The effect of this iB to create what ia called alternating strabismus and when tho age of five or six years is attained glasses will nearly always complete the job of straightening Some cases re quire a combination of lenses and prisms and somo must be operated on The skillful ophthalmologist does not operate except as a last resort not be cause of the pain associated because there is none nnd the work is done in n few minutes but it ia a greater tri umph of science to accomplish the feat without the knife and there tis always the possibility of cutting too much or not enough thus necessiating a second attempt Then
