TALK
Development.
Every nerve and every muscle in the body may become developed by me
or lose its power by disuse. One ear of the telephone girl gets sharper by con
stant listening, while the other ear becomes less sensitive It is just the sun.e
with the eves. If one eye is used t i the exclusion of the other the one becomes
sharper while the other loses its keenness. A child m.y be lorn with both eves
equally sensitive but with one of them s tght y out of focus. The good eye
does all the work, the other does little or nothing. The good eye Incomes
developed while the bad eye gets worse. By the age of fifty the poorer eye
will hardly distinguish between daylight and dark. The chances are that th?
good eve from double duty will evidently break down. The remainder of ths
person's life will be discomfort and irritation. Cilasses worn in time would
place both eyes upon an equal footing and keep one as strong as the other I
will answer any question you wish to ask about your eyes I will tell you
whether they are alike or not. I will charge you nothing for the inform tion.
