OJLMTOMXJL. fcamths UffUfawßs<M ] 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. Police Court.

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.
