If Your Eyes Are Tired.

Seat yourself on one side of the room, facing the wall opposite. Hold the head still‘and raise the eyes slowly until you'are looking as-nearly as possible at the ceiling above you. Now lower the eyes, looking at the floor before you. Take care, when looking down, not to focus the eyes on the ■nose, but on the floor at your feet. Repeat this ten times, but take care not to over-weary the eyes. Now look as far to the right as possible, then slowly shift the gaze to the left. Repeat as before. For a final exercise, imagine a huge circle in the air before you, and without moving the head, followthe outlines of this circle with your eyes, beginning at the feft, and going to the right for ten times, then beginning at the right and moving toward the left. When your exercises are over, bathe the eyes in warm water to which you have added a pinch of boracic acid, then close them and rest for five minutes.
