1926 The Health Bulletin June, 1926 thing to do is to see a physician immediately, if the cinder is on the cornea. If the cinder is on the conjunctiva, there are a number of things wliich may be tried. First of all, wink the eye. This will start a How of tears that will probably flush out the cinder. If this is not successful, grasp the lashes of the upper lid between thumb and finger and pull the lid out and downward as far as possible, then let go. The lashes of the lower lid sweeping across the upper lid may brush out the cinder. It may be necessary to put a drop of heavy oil, such as mineral or castor oil, into the eye. The heavy oil may be more successful in washing out the cinder than the tears were. As a last resort, one may turn the upper lid and remove the cinder with a bit of very clean cotton or linen. Surgery is Only Remedy Known for Eye Cataract A surgical operation is the only known remedy for cataract of the eye. Cataract is a clouding of the crystalline lens of the eye, and consists, so far as is known, of a withdrawal of water from the lens fibers and the formation of spaces between the fibers. Later the fibers themselves degenerate and become opaque, and there is no known process by which their transparency can be restored. In an operation the lens is removed, after which the patient must wear thick convex lenses in order to see well. Because the opaque spots that are formed in cataract are located in different places, the vision may vary from day to day. As a result, the patient will think there is some improvement, due perhaps, to some medicine. Careful tests, however, show that such is never the case. Expectant Mother Needs Examination By Doctor In order to have better babies, we must have healthier parents. Especially important is the health and care of the mother both for her own sake and the child's. Every woman who is about to have a baby should be examined by a physician, and should remain under his care until after the. child is born, advises Dr. Frank W. Lynch. A physical examination will show the condition of the prospective mother, and if there are any defects, they may be corrected at once, thus insuring an easy, safe delivery. Proper prenatal care will very greatly reduce the number of deaths from childbirth and will insure better health of the children. During the first part of this prenatal period the patient is depressed and tired. She may have nausea and vomiting, especially in the morning. This condition can be helped by her physician, another reason for consulting him early. For the last half of the time the woman will feel very much better. This is generally noticeable in her improved appearance and endurance. One cannot overemphasize the need of consulting a physician promptly, at the first signs, and of following his directions faithfully. Both Detachment and Attachment iSeed of Parents Parents need detachment as well as attachment in training their children, thinks Dr. Arnold Gesell of the Yale Psycho-Clinic, who writes on '^The Delicate Task of Child Training." Parents too often allow their children to upset the entire household over some matter of discipline. The parent takes an autocratic attitude, which produces resentment on the child's part. Affection and antagonism grow side by side. There should be no emotional display on the parents' part. Anger, coaxing, tears gain nothing. Many parents are surprised to find their difiicult child successfully handled by a teacher. A calm, detached attitude will bring results in improved behavior that can never be achieved by pleading and threats. Regardless of the pleasure it may give her, the wise mother will not allow her child to become too dependent on her. Parent and child should act as partners, or the child will never acquire the self-confidence he needs to help him through life. Child training should begin in infancy.
