That Body
of Yours
By
JAMES W. BARTON, M. D.
Eyes and Teeth
A YOUNG man was having his
**eyes examined by a physician,
and to the surprise of the physician
and the patient the eyes had im
proved considerably since the exam
ination one year previous.
As his work and reading habits
had not changed, the physician was
at a loss to account for the im
provement until he asked some ques
tions.
"You are feeling better physically
than you were a year ago, are you
not?"
"Yes!" the patient answered, "I
feel brighter and more like work,
not so lazy as I was a year ago."
"Had any dental work done?"
"Yes, I had an X-ray of my teeth
and the dentist found three teeth
that were badly infected and re
moved them. I felt lazier than
ever for a fevy weeks but I feel fine
now."
This was the explanation of the
Improvement In the eyesight.
Dr. William P. G. Stelnbugler
tells us in the New York State
Journal of Medicine that pyorrhea,
dental decay, and root Infection are
frequent causes of eye infection,
and, in addition to affecting the eye
sight, set up local Inflammations in
and about the eyes. The most dan
gerous form of tooth infection Is
that In which the pulp (nerve and
blood vessels) Is affected, as this
diseased or poisonous material is
forced into the blood stream and
hence goes to all parts of the body
Including the eye.
Doctor Stelnbugler admits that
every effort should be made to
preserve the teeth owing to their
Importance In breaking up food and
allowing the digestive Juice In the
mouth to moisten and soften food,
and turn starch into sugar, never
theless It should be remembered
that in doubtful cases the eye
should be given first consideration
and the removal of Infection from
the mouth should come before pre
serving the teeth.
During the war a very skillful pi
lot began to make poor landings, fie
was ordered to report for medical
examination and It was found that
his tonsils were In very bad con
dition. Removal of tonsils restored
his vision to normal and there were
no more poor landings. Infection
was the cause of the trouble.
If therefore your eyesight seems
to be falling or you are troubled
with any Inflammation about the
eyes, a vJsit to the dentist Is advis
able before having your glasses
changed.
Asthma and Hay Fever
I SOMETIMES wondef what hay
fever and asthma sufferers must
think as they read daily of the won
derful cures being obtained by va
rious physicians throughout the
world, and yet despite the various
treatments they have received, they
still suffer with hay fever and
asthma.
What are the various "cures" that
are thus recorded?
The cures are first aimed at the
causes of these two ailments—sen
sitiveness to certain foods, furs,
feathers, pollen of plants, various
dusts in the home; ailments or de
formities in the nose, throat, or
bronchial tubes; acute Infections
such as Influenza, bronchitis, pleu
risy, scarlet fever, whooping cough,
measles.
Before treatment Is undertaken
the patient Is thoroughly examined
and tested by the various sub
stances, now known to be hundreds
in number. Treatment Is then
given according to what the exam
ination and various tests showed.
This treatment consists of vary
ing drugs, of which adrenalin
stands first; proper attention to
diet, rest, and outdoor exercise;
vaccines; the surgical removal of
adenoids, tonsils, growths of de
formities In the nose and throat;
the use of pollen extracts before
and during the hay fever season.
Dr. T. S. Heaton, Toronto, who
made a study of the various causes
and different methods of treatment,
gives conclusions reached after re
viewing some of the work and writ
ings of slxty-slx physicians doing re
search work on hay fever and
asthma.
He believes that the treatment of
hay fever and asthma by the avoid
ance of the substances that cause
these conditions Is th 9 best method
at this time. Rooms in which these
substances cannot enter and the use
of air filters are of great value in
fighting these ailments. Avoidance
of the foods known to cause hay fe
ver or asthma Is the best method
of treating this particular type.
"Certainly asthma and hay fever
are difficult to cure. Certainly, too,
the special treatment by extracts
can help many at any age."
So, If you are an asthma or hay
fever sufferer and think you have
tried everything, Just ponder over
these remarks by Doctor Heaton,
and try to discover if there is not
something you have lfrft undone.

EXPERT SUMS UP
FORMIDABLE LIST
OF EYE DEFECTS
Many a driver who sees clearly,
so far as he Is aware, and who pays
attention to the road still finds driv
ing a car hazardous business. Such
a man will bjrinterested in what
Dr. Alvah R. Lauer, of lowa Stare
college, says about the physical short
comings of apparently normal people.
Clarity of vision Is merely one of
the qualities of normal eyesight. A ?
secondary quality Is width' of the
field of vision. Normally, a person
looking straight ahead detects the
presence of a car when it pulls up
beside him, but some do not become
aware of It until It moves ahead. Ex
treme sufferers from narrow vision e
are said to possess tunnel vision, but
many persons have less than the nor
mal field of Iss to 195 degrees and
do not suspect the fact.
Depth of vision also Is necessary
to safe driving. This means that the
man behind the wheel must not only
be able to see a car In the road
but must be aware of whether It is
traveling with him, standing still, or
coming toward him, and approximately
how fast. Depth perception Is linked
with another point, eye dominance.
Many people who get headaches
when they are tired do so because
they are seeing out of only one eye,
although they do not know It Two
eyes are needed for three-dimension
sight.
Color blindness is a common and
widely recognized fault. Another
thing needed for, safe driving it
strength in the hands for emergency
use; there must also be the ability
to judge speed of movement, and the
right amount of awareness to sudden
noise. All these and many other
abilities are part of every person's
makeup in varying degrees. We rec
ognize them by saying a driver Is
alert, or capable, observant, quick,
cool, but seldom think to discover
which particular combintalons of
perception and nervous control pro
duce these desirable qualities. It
goes without saying, however, that a
driver who recognizes his deficien
cies can take steps to compensate for
them. —Detroit Free Press.
