BLINDNESS FROM STIMULANTS-
Liquor, Tobacco and Tea Conspire to
Tako Away the Eyesight.
_______
There la an alarming increase io the
percentage of people suffering io ad
vanced years from a partial blindness
and its cause is not suspected by most
of the sufferers. It is known as am
blyopia to physicians, and results from
the wreckless use of stimulants.
How often do you bear men and
women complain of a tired feeling io
the optic region, especially upon ris
ing in the morning when the lids
seem to be glued io the eyeballs. This
is the early stage of a blindness
brought on by stimulants. Tobacco
and alcohol for the moat part cause
these eye troubles, but tea taken in
excess for any length of time will pro
duce the same conditions.
It ie not ao long since a man oi 46
years, who found hie eyesight failing,
was treated by one of the distinguished
physicians of London He was strong,
healthy and had aeemingly led a very .
regular, temperate life. He smoked a
pipe of strong tobacco after each meal
and drank one glass of beer at dinner.
Os these he was deprived, but did not
improve. Finally the fact was elicited
that for years he had consumed daily
twelve cupfuls of strong, cheap, green
tea. The latter habit was suspended,
the beer and tobacco resumed, and
from that moment, under treatment,
bis vision gradually improved until a
cure was accomplished..
The symptoms of tobacco emblyopia
and that due to alcohol are absolutely
identical. They set up a chronic and
painless inflammation of the optic
nerve. Diminution and the loss of
sight are accompanied by a dryness of
the upper lid, easily detected, but few
realize what the annoyance really
means. If neglected, the impairment
from the center of the field over -the
whole of the nerve fibres leads/tfiough
rarely to absolute, yet generally to
partical blindness. Among boys as
young as 15 years cases of cigarette
origin are known when the papillar of
the optic nerve became abnormally
reddened at first, and followed quickly
by anaemia, ending in atrophy of the
disc.
There seems to be no definite rule
in the case of alcohol, but a quarter of
a pound of tobacco consumed each
week for a generation will produce
positive blindness. The quality of to
bacco is not without influence. The
more expensive tobacco, as a rule,con
tains much lees nicotine than cheaper
varieties.
Nicotine is one of the most virulent
poisons known, and even in minute
doses kills instantly. Its action on the
animal economy may be compared to
that of prussic acid, since one drop in
concentrated solution suffices to kill a
dog —Philadelphia Times.

Pitiful Story of a Battiefield.
Jost below the stone fort at Caney,
says James Archibald, in Leslie’s
Weekly, sitting in the pineapple field,
I came upon a pitiful aight—a soldier
sitting on the ground, boding in his
lap the head of a poor fellow who was
litera/ly shot to pieces. One bullet had
gone through bis bead, another
through his lungs and chest, tearings
horrible bole, from which the blood
poured at every breath. He was almost
dead, and every breath sounded like
the noise made by pouring liquid from
a bottle, and his comrade kept the flies
from bis face, that was clotted .with
blood and dirt, and waited. Occasion
ally, when the poor fellow would groan
a bit louder than usual, the friend
would change the dying man’s posh
tion, but he held bim as still as he
could.
"Don’t suppose there’s a surgeon
about?” he inquired, as I stopped.
I told him there was .not now, but
would be later.
"Well,” he remarked, quietly,"don’t
suppose they could help bim. He’s
’bout gone, I reckon.”
The breathing became weaker and
the gurgling fainter and fainter as the
grayish pallor began to show through
the sweat and dirt and blood, and
finally, without a tremor, breathing
ceased. The soldier held his burden
a moment until be saw the end had
•
come, and then laid his handkerchief
over the ghastly face and gently let
the bead down to the ground, and got
up.
"Know him?” I asked.
“My brother,” he calmly said. And
then be filled hie lungs with one long,
deep sigh, and gazed oil to the bills
for a moment with a far away,
thoughtful look, and I could see that
he was looking straight into some
home and wondering wbat mother
would think.
