A serious problem that
$2" confronts parents is to
know whether their children's
eyes are normal or not. Quite a
large percentage of sool chil
dren are handicapped by defect
ive vision without the parents be
ing aware of the deficiency in
their eye-sight. This condition
is sometimes indicated by back
wardness in their studies, ner
vousness, or a sreneral lack of in
terest in their work. They
should have their eves tested.
For the welfare of the child, it is
very important that ' eases of
astigmatism or muscular insuffi
ciency be given proper attention
at an early age, while the eye is
still soft and liable to further
harm or permanent injury. If
taken in time, children frequent
ly outgrow the trouble eutirely,
when neglect may result in an
aggravated ease of near sight. A
simple test will determine. Par
ents, who are at all in doubt as
to the condition of their chil
dren's eyes would do well to al
low Dr. Lowe to apr.lv simple
test to determine whether there
is cause for further research or
not. This will cost you nothing,
and may save lots of grief. Dr.
Lowe will be at the Hotel Wash
ington, Wednesday, June 26th.
