A startling fact is just being‘ brought to light. There are thousands of one-eyed people in the Province of ‘ Ontario. Moreoverrâ€"and this makes the matter will the more seriousflthe‘ number of obese oneâ€"eyed people is continually being added to. Everyone knows that crossâ€"eye or squint is com~ mon among children, a condition that can easily be put righfi; with the proper glasses or by operation. What the public does not know unfortunate- ly, is that the vast majority of these children with squint have defective vision and that many, far boo many, are blind in one eye. When I say blind, I mean what doctors call Am- blyopic. All of these children can see FARMERS' BOOKLETS Any 0! the tollow‘lng may be bed has an application to the Alfalfa growlng ln Eastern Canada.

MIDDLETON FREE light from darkness and many can even count one’s fingers held up in front of them when their sound eye is closed. The dimness of sight in these people is permanent and the db- struction cannot be removed. It is too late to make them see clearly. How did these people become oneâ€"eyed, you may ask? It very probably happened this way: We any one of these un- fortunate people as an example, and go back to his or her childhood days. Just about the time the youngster was able to leave its mother’s apron strings and boddle about alone, a ‘squint, i.e., a crossâ€"eye developed, but lgassed unnoticed. No diocbcur or nurse ‘ ad examined the child, and the par- ,ents were not aware that anything serious was wrong. Perhaps the cross-eye was noticed, but defective vision never suspected, so that no- thing was done, it being thought that v the patents may have been ill-advised and taken the child to one who fitted lgllasses, of to a qualified medi- ical pmtitionelr. In this case perman- ent injury may have resulted from failure to coa'rectly treat the defective eye. It may even have been given proper glasses, but the blindness of the eye was neglecbed. It is recogniz- ed by authorities in all countries that the eyes of young childu'en cannot, lwith any certainty, be correctly tested :fdr glasses Without the use of drugs which a licensed medical practitioner alone may use. If the defective eyeâ€" ‘sight remains unnoticed for a time, (the strain put upon the eyes when the lchild commences its school studies ‘will Show that something is wrong, iiihe child would “grow out of it,” or iand the worried father or mother may: realize after a time that the child‘ should he examined. But there is Levery likelihood that it may be too lllate to effect a cure. Defective vision ' from this cause should be treated beâ€" ‘fore the age of five, and if the defect An..n...»amy-¢mn-r1 is not reciified by Isix years of age, there is practically no hope of per- manent improvement being brought about. Apart from the personal affliction‘ of poor vision, one can easily realize that an individual with a defective eye may ‘be both a. loss to the State, and a menace to the community. l How can the parents of children! with defective vision be warned of i the danger of permanent injury? Plaiuly some means should be avail-! able for examination of the children at an early age, and the most effective l agency would appear to be the com-; munity nurse, who not only gives ad-l Nice at clinics and mobhierr’s meetings, ’but actually visits the home and ex- amines the children, pointing out gross eye defects and other physical 'defects that should be rectified. In this way the parent is warned of the danger of delay, and urged to get in Eboucli with a qualified medical practi- ‘Xtioner ‘at the earliest possible moment. 1 A Public Health Nurse is one of the greatest assets any community can Zpossess.
