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.
Fresh air is necessary to avert
and counteract lung infection,
