SUN-GLARE
Many people arc sensitive to the from the sun. sea, white roads, etc. Children frequently of headaches and watering of the eyes in summer-time, both of which conditions often find their origin in .the glare. Foolish people are apt to put such troubles down to imagination, whereas they are very real and very painful. The only cure for these cases is to keep away from the glare as much as possible, to have shady hats, and to treat the eyes with a mild and soothing remedy. Where it is not possible to keep away from the glare then glasses should be worn, these glasses to be dark-tinted. In the same connection a word should be said about the habit some small boys engage in of staring at the sun. ]t is a most foolish and dangerous trick; it may not only lead to the eyes being made very sensitive to glare for years afterwards, but may even end in partial blindness.
