WHEN THE EYES WATER.
I*f : '■ I nr a physician. 'llavo you ever thought what useful things the tears of tho eyes really are? ' Probably you have only thought of iJftars ns horrible affairs that came when you were very small and when something happened, to you that you did not life. So you could see no use for tears, 'js they did not even bring the thing that . ,Y6u wanted or stop the tiling that upset / 3sti. ; ' ; But think of the watering of your oye 'fthen something, gets into it. That watcr-f-Mlg is just a, flow of tears, the same tears ?;,!i#i&t you used to shed when you were a H L Cr y baby." but this kindly watering r ,'.i gashes out the/speck of dust or the little ■ •''■ijfyi.tl'at iias got into your eye. • all day long a very low, a very gentle, unnoticed flow of tears passes ; over your eye and keeps it moist and ißMlpwi and healthy. h So you see even those wretched toars ssve their good side.
