It wai alleged that the midwife failed to care for tho baby's eyes properly at Dirtn and now the eyes art sightless... In making the Judgment, the judge said "A pair of baby's eyes are priceless, no amount' of money that thin or any eonrt could . give,, no matter . how large the amount, would compensate for the loss of this baby's sight." "There are hundreds of Wind people in-North- (rflHnn-'teidnyi-nbont "- sixth of all who are Mind, whose eyes are sightless for this aamo reason," says the State Board of Health, "bo- cause their eyes were neglected glaring the first days of thotr life. . w Men might have been dne to careless mid wife or nurse, or to the ignorance of parents, nurse, and all, "This particular form of blindness,1 says the board, "is all the more sad, be cause It Is preventable. It is caused by a germ that gets into nabiea' eyes at birth, causing what used to bo called babies' sore eyes, now know as Oph thalmia Neonatorum. Because the pre vention of the disease is so simple and ensy is probably why it is so much neg lected. The prevention consists of properly washing and eleansing the baby's eyes Immediately after Its birth with a one or two per cent solution of silver nitrate. Many states have laws making this treatment compulsory on the part of physicians, midwivea or nurses."
