No action was taken h.v the city authorities, who were probably relieved to see the re- spom ibllily averted from their heads. One of the earliest signs of an oncoming attack of measles is the reddened condition of the eyes. Teurs may, be noticed as excessive and almost ready to overflow the lashes during the stage of sneezing and coughing' \ that precedes the skin eruption. I These early inflammatory warn ings in the eyes require no treatment. They are usually ac companied by some fear of light, and this fear of light has promo ted the vicious care that is le- sponsible not only for loss of eyesight but also for the loss of life of many children. Probably more harm has been done by the old-fashioned notion that the child with measles must be kept in a dark room than by any other nursing fault. The fact that the tears are flowing and the eyes are a little con gested is not sufficient reason lor putting the child in a dark room. In no other disease of childhood are fresh air and good light so imperative in treatment.
