A Disorder of the Eyes Thot Needs Core

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. | THE eyes sre constantly bathed and nourished by a circulating fluid. Where too milch of thia fluid is formed or where Its natural outlets are blocked for some reason, pressure within the eyehall Increases and a condition known as glaucoma Is said to be present. Glaucoma Is a very serious disorder. It requlrcsi prompt care if permanent dama;;e to the eyeball and blindness are to be prevented. Early treatment can often save sight, but there must be no delay. Once the delicate tissues of the eye are damaged, the Qnest skill tn the world will not stxffice to restore than:. Types of Glaucoma There are a numvber of kinds of glaucoma. One tyi»e is known as acute, congestive Glaucoma. This variety starts suddenly with severe pain in and around the eye. head, ears or teeth. Sometimes there Is sickness to the stomach, or vomiting. and there also may be fever. A person's visual defect rapidly becomes worse. Usually only one eye is affected, and the affected e.re quickly becomes very red. The affected part of the eyeball, or isornea. has a cloudy appearance, said it may be almost insensitive t<e touch. The pupil or opening latte the eyeball Xa widened or dilated

While the country will not go hungry or have to depend on food packages from Greece, it does not appear that 1947 is going to he a bumper year. But, in most any line of business and over a span of life, along comes a year that is not so good How's your health? , , O —o The summer program at Worth- , man Field tor the school children is in full swing and much interest is shown by the youngsters In the , athletic and sports events, along • with the craft divisions. The recreational program is supervised by Steve Everhart. Dean Dorwin and .Miss Jean Burnett in cooperation with the public school system . and the American Legion, the latter being sponsors of the ball , teams. It is one of the finest proi gratuLbaing carried out in the . state. L. M. "Mart" Busches itnpres- > sions of conditions in Germany in the American and British zones, were interesting to read and gave one a realistic picture of what that defeated country is going through. I One thing certain, food is lacking i over there. Another positive fact. ■ the German people do not understand what is meant by American democracy and freedom. Probably > the coming generations will catch ' the idea and help rebuild their country which will bring freedom and happiness to all. Mr. Busche, a member of the Purdue Agricultural staff, was one of the men I selected by the army to stndy coni ditlons In Germany and report his findings to our government. He did a great job and those who know him will vouch no one of i the group was more sincere in i fulfilling an inportant assignment.

In caxe-s of this type, immediate treatment is necessary. If blindness Is to be prevented. A substance known as eserine or pilocarpine must be put into the eye every few minutes or less frequently. Tills will contract the pupil. At no time must the drug known as atropine, which dilates the pupil, be employed. Nor should such ointments as yellow oxide of mercury be used in such cases, since they may make it worse. Another type of glaucoma Is railed non-congestive. or simple glaucoma. This condition occurs ten times more often than the acute type. It starts more gradually with attacks of blurred vision, which may last for several hours and are often accompanied by a one-sided headache. Sometimes there Is difficulty in reading. The eye Is not red. The symptoms seem to occur particularly at times of excitement or worry. At night, the vision is often blurred, and the patient may see halos areund street lights or car lamps. These symptoms may last months or yearn before the patient becomes aware he is losing his eyesight. Thus, if may be seen, that unless some attention is given to these symptoms, the disorder may continue for a long time before a diagnosis is made and treatment started.

"Then there* not a thing to worry about. But why did you say, a few moments ago, you were sorry ?" Ashamed of that outburst, of the mental torment that had led her to it, Diane turned her face onto his shoulder. "This is enough," she told herself. Ho was sweet about It, concerned and tender.

He’ll be William Arden,, the fifteenth or so." “We must speak for a bigger apartment in this building," Bill said the next morning, with the air of having settled that problem during the night. Diane thought of the little house in the country. Impulsively her lips opened to tell him of it; instead she protested. "Bill, there’s no hurry. It won’t be till April, sometime.*’ "Not too far off tp decide what well do. This location is convenient and not too expensive. One more room is all we’U need. Isn’t it?

"Leave i it at that" It had the ring of a i compromise. Perhaps that was as far as they’d ever get, together. Lois telephoned, her voice a high wait “Thad's staying out In California!
