THE CHEMAWA AMERÍCAA
ARE YOUR EYES GOOD?
We have just printed a number of forms relative to
matters pertaining to the eye for Medicài Supervisor
H. V. Hailman who is now at Chemawa in an official
capacity. There is much of splendid value in What
the Doctor had printed and we are making a reprint of
the various forms, as follows:
(A)
Your eyes were found by me to be normal, that is
to say, you had no disease of the eyes or lids at the
time I examined them last Tuesday, May 14th, 1918.
Keep your eyes in good condition by keeping your
fingers out of your eyes.
You should have au individual wash basin and
towel, and allow no one else to use thempr your hand­
kerchief.
Have your eyes frequently examined by an Eye
Specialist employed by the United States Govern­
ment.

EYE CONDITION AND TREATMENT

is rather well advanced, and if un-treated will rapidly
become a menace to your vision and, may in a reason­
ably short time be a cause of blindness in one or both
eyes-
Put a drop of the black eye water in each eye
every other morning.
On Monday and Thursday evenings place a small
amount of the green ointment beneath the upper lid
of each eye and gently massage the lids for a couple
of minutes. This should be used just before retiring
at night.

eye in the same way.

(4) ■
EYE CONDITION AND TREATMENT
You have an infectious disease of the eye lids,
which is in a very advanced stage, and is at this time
affecting the transparent part of the eye (called the
Gornea); it is causing little ulcers to form ip the
clear, transparent part of the eye, and when these
ulcers heal there will be left at the ulcerated site a
small white spot which is opaque and this will not
allow the light to pass into the eye. Just a few of
these spots will cause blindness in the eye. Treat­
ment will prevent blindness if followed constantly
and, may after a long period of time, produce a cure
of the lids, but you can hot hope for complete re­
covery of the diseased lids in less than a year or two,
and many such cases as yours are never'completely
cured even though treatment is kept up constantly.
But, as long as the treatment is kept up your sight
will be preserved, and that is, what really counts.
Put a drop of the blaek eye water in each eye every
other morning.
There is furnished you one tube each of yellow
ointment and of green ointment; they are used at
night, one kind one night and the other kind the
next, night, alternately.
Place a small amount of the ointment beneath the
upper lid of each eye, and gently massage the lids for
a couple of minutes. This should be used just before
retiring at night.
You should have your individual wash basin and
towel and never ¡allow any one else to use them or
your handkerchief, and neither should you use any
one’s else than your own.
Prevent the disease from spreading and save your
eye sight by,following these instructions.
Have your eyes examined frequently by an Eye
Specialist employed by the United States Government.
