Iu removing a foreign for-eign pnrtlclo from the eye, ask the P'i tlcnt to look down, nnd then take hold of tho eyelnsh with thumb nnd foro-fltiRcr foro-fltiRcr of thu loft hand nml pull tho rye-lid rye-lid downward nnd slightly nwuy from the eyeball. Next overt, or turn back, tho eyelid by placing mldwny between tho eyelashes nnd cjelmll tho tip of tho thumb of Hit; right blind and make the snmo movement that would be required re-quired to turn back tho edge of a coat sleeve. If the pnrtlclo Is located on the Interior In-terior of tho upper lid It may bo removed re-moved with a clean handkerchief or n piece of clean cotton placed on the I end of n toothpick or match. If tho Irritating substance Is not on the upper lid try to find It In tho same manner on tho louer lid nnd remove, It Iu the sumo way. When the pnrtlclo U Imbedded Im-bedded In the cornea, or covering of the ejeball, It Is best to consult o lhy-slclnn lhy-slclnn or eye ftpoclnllxt. After 'removing 'remov-ing tho pnrtlclo from the cyo It Is ad- j vlsnblo to Irrigate tho delicate member mem-ber with boric ncld. Under no clrcumstnnccs should anyone any-one touch tho cyo with a handkerchief or other ugent that has been moistened mois-tened with saliva or with the tip of the tongue. In treating tho eyes with some kind of liquid mcdlclno ono should take caro never to Invert tho dropper after tho solution has been drawn into tho rubber end downward and tho fluid permitted to run Into tho rubber nnd then back into the glass aa tho solution will very likely contain particles of powder that havo washed off the rubber rub-ber bulb, and these may Irritate tho eyoa. Always hold up the rubber end of tho dropper. Tho fluid should never bo dropped directly on tho cycbnll unless un-less the physician has so advised. The proper prnctlco Is to draw down tho lower lid and place tho drops on tho exposed Inner surface of tfio lid. Ono or two drops nre always sufficient nnd It Is only waste to uso more. Floyd W.
