REST FOR WEARY EYES.
To make eyes clear and brilliant, and keep the tired lines away, bathe th*m often in hot water, and rinse them in cold, containing a pinch of salt. If the eyes are tired or irritated, wash them with a half tumbler of water, into which has been put a little powdered boracic acid. Strong tea, cooled and filtered, is also good for the eyes when they are tired. If the eyes sting, or have been strained, an excellent tonic to use is made from ten grains each of powdered alum and sulphate of zinc in a half pint of boiled cooled water. Inflammation caused by tears can be drawn out by applying over the lids a cloth that has been soaked in hot water.
