Avoid all sudden changes between 'light

Never begin to read, or write; or sew, for
several minutes after coining trans darkness
to a bright light.
Never read by tallied, or moonlight, or
very, cloutlyday. •
Never read or sew directly in front of the
light, or window, or door.
,t It is best to Fare the light fall from abose,
obliquely over the left shoulder.
Neter-sleep so that on first waking,, the
eyes shall of en on the light of a !smile*.
Do not use the eye sight by light so _scant
that it requires en effort to di4Orimi nate.
Too mnch light creates a glare, and pains,
add confuses the sight,' The moment you
are sensible of an effort to distinguish, that
neonieut ceasic-and takca walk or a rile.
As thelsky is blue and the earth green, it
